I know the whole crypto market is down and most currencies follow the trend set by BTC. However, with BTC dropping to ridiculously low levels, how come ZCASH is not (at least) keeping up ?  
Maybe a month or so ago 1 BTC = 50 ZEC  
Now is it more than 70 ZEC per BTC ???

You are interpreting it totally wrong, sorry for being straight.

If you get more ZEC for the same BTC, than this means ZEC lost against BTC.

You did not read properly. I am MINING Zcash and complaining that it is losing value against BTC !
