How does one get Z when it's showing available but won't... book it?

Btw, I've booked Z to Europe around $3K all-in when D-business was around $6.5K.

There is no Z fare for SFO-SYD.

Booking class availability doesn't mean fare availability. A booking class exists for many purposes: through fare from other origins, corporate contracts, limited time sales, rebooking of previously purchased tickets, etc.
