Zoro is the only one out of the trio that has not faced a worthy opponent. Even Law and Smoker got to face off with strong people. For better or worse it is time for a spot light on Zoro.
You're assuming there's going to be an all-out fight by the time Doflamingo arrives, but it's looking very likely that the strawhats will be gone before then. Zoro doesn't need a turn. He already had his moment against Monet, which was impressive in itself since he fodderized her without even getting serious. This arc is at its end; don't expect any major battles to happen in the next few chapters. Clearly the birdman is going to get his own story arc where he'll be dealt with there. Until then, we'll have to wait to see the full extent of his capabilities.

And we didn't see Sanji's limit with Vergo. They had a short skirmish and we're pretty evenly matched. Neither of them were fighting at their best. The only thing that caught Sanji by surprise was the strength of Vergo's hits. After his leg bone got cracked, he knew it would be more prudent to dodge Vergo's attacks altogether than block them. You also have to account for the fact that Sanji wasn't at his best physically because Nami had damaged his body beforehand.

The point is, none of the monster trio have been pushed to their limits yet. Dresrosa will probably be the place where they'll finally be put to the test.
