Pretty much all the VR ones do this, as you have a spacial representation to work from, from what I've seen. And there have been some recent-ish things like https://gather.town/ that should be capable as well, though I'm not sure if they do. But yeah, Zoom doesn't.

Cool thing about VR is when you move your head the position of the speaker stays exactly where it is in relative space thanks to motion tracking which lets you essentially turn towards people you wanna listen/talk to. At some point we need some sort of positional awareness in our headphones to add some resemblance of that.

You could use camera head tracking for that.
