This is when ZAP in installed in /usr/share/zaproxy so the user doesnt have write access.

I was having the same issue.
Patched zap.jar solves the issue. 
Please can you modify the zap.sh in the upstream package so it would be possible to
use it with shared installation out of the box?

I am using symbolic link to the zap base directory:
ln -s /opt/ZAP_1.3.3/zap.sh /usr/bin/zap

And modified zap.sh script to follow the symbolic link to the real directory:
#!/bin/sh
#Dereference from link to the real directory
SCRIPTNAME=$0
while [ -L "$SCRIPTNAME" ] ; do 
    SCRIPTNAME=`ls -l "$SCRIPTNAME" | awk ' { print $NF }'`
done

BASEDIR=`dirname $SCRIPTNAME`
cd "$BASEDIR"

java -jar zap.jar org.zaproxy.zap.ZAP $*
