If you have a few million dollars and a lab to work in yes, but even then its hit and miss. As for a software only recovery, thats not on the cards after a true 0 fill.
If course if you just "format", all it really does is resets the first few bytes of the MTF/Metafiles, and that can easily be recovered. Even removing partitions can easily be recovered by software.
But writing 0's to every bit on the disk, thats beyond software to recover, the physical disk needs to be recovered manually in a lab, and the odds are for a partial recovery at best.
The odds of your old data having enough value to warrent a lab recovery are probably quite low, but if you work for GCHQ then just run the disk through one of those massive degausers, and toss it in the trash
