Try giving them a different tag. Otherwise they will end up in the same
group. So something like:

  _alternative \
    'downloaded-snippets:downloaded snippet:compadd -a - snippets' \
    'already-loaded-snippets:already loaded snippet:compadd -a - snippets_alreadyld'
    ...

As an aside, the normal zsh convention is plural form for the tags and
singular for the group descriptions.
