Is there a way to find out how many zones are then per availability zone Region. does it always 3 zones per availability one? Are there regions where there are more than 3 zones per availability zone?

This can help you see the regions:

az account list-locations -o table

According to the cli documentation, it appears there are 3 per region [--zone {1, 2, 3}] as shown below, since it enumerates zones 1, 2, and 3 as options when you do an az vm create command that would include --location and --zone

az vm create --name
             --resource-group
             [--accelerated-networking {false, true}]
