I’ve been told the rule that orange mentioned but it feels natural to break it and I don’t always notice

I would absolutely opt for the first variant “me” and not the second “I”

In American English, “me and Zenon” in this context is common but not considered formally grammatically correct. Regardless of dialect, you could lose points for using “me and Zenon” in this context if it were a formal writing assignment graded on grammar, and you might be seen as unintelligent if you used such a construction in a formal setting.
Per my experience, if somebody corrected you, they’d be seen as annoying, but not wrong. Attempting to claim grammatical correctness, as you did, would be seen as ignorant.

It’s at a similar formality level to who versus whom: well-educated people speaking formally are generally expected to know the rule, but it’s usually not applied in casual conversations.
I’ll usually follow the rule for “me and X” vs “X and I” even in casual settings because it’s natural for me to follow. I’m sure you can find me breaking it, but I’m better about it than most people are. I can pretty easily follow “who” vs “whom”, but that one often sticks out more, as it involves saying a word nobody says in casual context anymore, so I usually don’t.

My girlfriend will (jokingly) correct people on “me and X”, but I’ve been able to catch her the other way around, using “X and I” incorrectly. She doesn’t know “who” vs “whom”.

Oh, but “whom” is common in certain phrases in which “who” would often sound odd, e.g. “one of whom”. Usually those phrases are ones where “whom” follows a preposition.
