there are no other units in queue, there are no other units not mentioned.

Terran player spams siege mode/tank mode, and doesn't let his tanks fire.

Barring extreme stupidity from the Terran player, no. Even if the tanks were clumped and sieged, and shot each other, they'd kill the 3 zealots before they killed themselves.

most players send those zealots in.

i call that a strategic error. the right play in this situation is surrender - it is an option.

Depends on how the tanks are arranged. Losing your entire force != strategic error if you can inflict losses much greater than the cost of your force (e.g. depending on timing/positioning, it might be possible to kill 2 tanks, at which point the force has been cost effective.

Wow this is a deep strategic discussion.

Also, 12 zerglings lose to 10 DTs and 6 marines lose to 12 mutas.

Regardless of whether or not it's a strategic error, it really has no negative impact when the only other alternative is losing the game. Nothing to discuss really.

yeah
the right decision is obviously to surrender because the zealots go into your next game unharmed!!

or hell, send them in, maybe there's some super glitch and all the tanks explode by themselves. or the terran player becomes suddenly obsessed with the O button for a few minutes. no? what's the worst that can happen? you lose the game. you know, as opposed to that other option.

actually there's many ways in which you can "win"
say the tanks are stuck on an island with no buildings and the terran doesn't have any liftoff buildings left. or the tanks are outside of each other's range and sieged and the terran's player O key doesn't work. etc

No units, ok. How about mines?

The proper way to win is to position the zealots on a ramp. The tanks will need to come in close to see/attack the zealots. The zealots will attack and hopefully the tanks will miss 100%.

Good luck.

Tanks are clumped and have 1 hp and are sieged

Zealots are modified in the map editor to have enhanced stats
