Your suggestion worked but I am having another, related problem:

define hostgroup {
        hostgroup_name  z-allhosts
        alias           z-allhosts
        members         *
        }

define serviceescalation{
        hostgroup_name          z-allhosts
        service_description     *
        contact_groups          ms
        first_notification      3
        last_notification       0
        notification_interval   30
        escalation_options      w,u,c,r
        }

The hostgroup alone works fine but the serviceescalation gives this error:
Error: Could not expand services specified in service escalation
(config file '/etc/nagios/objects/serviceescalations.cfg', starting on
line 1)

I can replace z-allhosts with the windows host group (below) and it
checks out fine.  So it appears to be a wildcarded hostgroup that's
the problem.  Any thoughts?

define hostgroup {
        hostgroup_name  windows
        alias           windows
        }
