They don’t pick up anything that they don’t know about, so once the zero day is known the antivirus/malware can find and remove it I thought.

They don't catch zero-day exploits, as those are vulnerabilities in programs that were discovered to be used in the wild. They will eventually catch the malware dropped through those exploits, though.
