Despite the fact that zero summing results in the complete erasure of all known records and memory of the individual(s) in question, that is what I think happened to the Dwemer.

My guess is the moment Kagrenac used the tools on the heart, every Dwemer linked to it came to know the truth about the universe. That they were not individual beings, but rather figments of the Godhead's dream, and when faced with this fact, couldn't accept it for what it was and thereby deleted from existence.
