It's actually the other way around.

Most ILS/DME installations around the world have DME collocated with the glideslope antenna, which means DME reads 0 at touchdown point.

Sometimes (namely in the UK) DME reads 0 at landing threshold. If that's the case, a note on the approach chart will advise the pilot that's the case.
