If you are filing Single with no dependents to claim, then setting your W-4 to zero is the correct thing to do. The withholding tax tables are designed to withhold the appropriate amount of tax based on your income, filing status, and exemptions. So getting a small refund or having a small balance due is exactly what you should expect.
