So I can see why a "zone DB" might have problems in press man coverage. But I can't think of a single skill set involving coverage that would cause a "man-to-man DB" to struggle in zone.

So what skill would a good "man-to-man CB" be lacking that would cause him to struggle in a zone scheme?

I’m guessing it’s scheme awareness and leverage on the field. A good press corner can have his man blanketed but leave a large area of the field open as a consequence. Depending on how the offense is attacking the defense, their strength in man to man becomes a weakness for the entire defense.
