Start with the best feature: completion. There's a script,
/usr/share/zsh/functions/compinstall. Source that
(". /usr/share/...."), and, voila, a menu for configuring the
completion system.
Badass, I tell you... ;-)

Maybee it's tcsh... don't know, works for me, sorry.

Closer is glob_complete (setopt globcomplete).
But probably not exactly what you want... it expands the word in the
command line and steps through the completions via TAB.
The original *.html is gone, so pressing ENTER would jsut deal with
one.
Though, maybe that is what you want. But probably not. OTOH,
mentioning it on zsh-users might bring a surprise (the zsh folks are
always willing to make zsh even fancier ;-) (zsh-users is gated into
zsh-workers).
Bye, J
