Is that just the limited resolution of the analog-digital conversion in the CX-3 or is the response of the pedal itself (electrical resistance) not completely smooth near the end?

I don't use it in that manner. A real B-3's expression pedal doesn't go to zero either. (It's an expression pedal, not a volume pedal.) I find a setting of 12-15 gives a very natural operation, with the caveat that it doesn't quite go to zero.
