Oh, I don't know... depending on how you view the Taliesin fight and your dialogue choices there, you ARE coming out and saying how you feel (though it might depend on how much perceived passion goes into the choice 'Zevran belongs with me now' - for me, that's doing almost the same thing that Zevran is unable to do, saying that you love him). It's the "wear it, sell it" line that results in the turn down - it's not even that he can't say it's a token of affection (because I could overlook that, even) but that he's trying to pass it off as a thank you for helping him defeat the Crows rather than any emotional attachment he has to you. If anything, it's the conversation that comes afterwards that seems somewhat out of place - where he DOES say he's surprised you think of him as more than a friend. Really? REALLY Zevran? After all the verbal foreplay for months and months on the road... and that I might be madly, even passionately in love with you is a surprise? Now who's in denial! And you think I'm letting you off the hook with a 'wear it sell it?' 
But when did you say it? I'm going to look out for it when I play through this time, but I don't think the PC every truly admits what they feel - they might call him a friend or say they want him to stay, but not much more than that. Look at that conversation just before the earring - about the strongest thing you can say is that you'd be put out if he left, or that you'd be glad if he stayed. While he answers that he will stay until you tire of him, or one of you dies. Who's holding out there? I'm just saying. 
'Wear it, sell it' could also be seen as taking the pressure off you - he's not asking for it to mean something to you. He just wants to give it. I don't think he actually wants you to sell it. He doesn't really try to pass it off as a reward for helping him (if you suggest it is, he doesn't agree - he just tells you to take it).
Hmmm, he doesn't answer that if you choose, "You'd better not leave, I'd be sorely put out." He laughs and says, "I'd better stay then, lest the consequences become unseemly." And he obviously likes that answer.
Who is holding out? It depends on which dialogs you take the entire relationship. You can have it fairly committed from the beginning, or you can make it as two people who are falling in love despite how hard they try not to. You have the option to tell him, right from the start, that you think you'd like it if he stayed on after the blight.
Again, I take turning down the earring as telling him that you want more than just a gift -- you want a commitment. And during the friendship dialog, of course, since it's not a romance dialog, and since friendship means everything to him, you're going to get a more powerful statement if you let him know you consider him a friend as well.
When he's turning you down for the tent, you can push it, ask him if he's having second thoughts about "us." I mean, you DO have plenty of opportunities to let him know you care, but you're also not going to get all the "I love you"s that are in the Leliana and Alistair romances.
Edit: And as we all know now (*grin*), what Zevran responds at the gate if you tell him you love him. He can't say it. But he does feel it. Helping him be able to admit it to himself is such a wonderful thing for him. I think he was falling in love the entire time, and he had no clue what that really meant.
