No, but notifications are suppressed for services whose hosts are in
scheduled downtime.

If so, why isn't there the ZZzzz icon next to these services?

Because they are not technically in scheduled downtime.

Scheduling downtime in vanilla Nagios can be a major pain. It is much easier

extinfo.cgi to for example "schedule downtime for all services in this
servicegroup, and all their hosts too".
