I have a 3TB WD drive that had a ZFS pool with another drive making a single 6TB partition. That other drive failed and corrupted the data on this drive, I am trying to recover this drive, not the data, just the drive.
I have tried to create a new partition on it using GParted which fails, I keep on getting input/output errors.

Look at your system's logs for details on what really happens. I'm also wondering if the disk is still in the machine where it was part of the ZFS pool. That's unclear. Since I/O errors are very rarely due to software problems, you could save a lot of time by trying the disk in another machine since it might be defective.

Or perhaps something else in the mix? Controller? Cable? Since some of your commands can "see" the drive, where as others cannot.

I ran dmesg and then plugged my drive in. I saw some warnings about low voltage. That's because I was plugging a hard disk drive into a raspberry pi and it didn't have enough power to spin up the disk.
Not sure if lack of power is your problem but it produced the same "Input/output error" in fdisk for me. The dmesg readout would be helpful in diagnosing your problem.
