    I dug around in the source code of a few plugins (tmux-prefix-highlight, tmux_mode_indicator) and found out that the parameter I am looking for is called pane_in_mode. This parameter is not documented in the man page for tmux on RHEL7, but the parameter seems to be present and works for what I am after. So this little snippet turns my status-left blue if the window is zoomed, pink if the prefix is active, and yellow in copy mode:
