Given your example command, dd will simply write to the device until either the read filehandle returns EOF (which /dev/zero should not) or the write filehandle returns ENOSPC.
It's possible that your USB drive has a fault. Are you able to use it correctly on other systems? Does dd perform as expected when you try a different USB drive?
