1) Add robots.txt to physical path.

You can just add a physical robots.txt file in you public path. ZF2 will not reroute traffic to existing files in the public path.

So if you put the file inside /public/robots.txt then a request to the following will simply load the file:

http://www.example.com/robots.txt

2) Make sure the robots.txt has content

The file needs content otherwise it wont work.
So for example: 

User-agent: *
Disallow: /

3) Check your rewrite rules

If it still doesn't work you should check whether your rewriting rules (.htaccess or web.config file) are configured according to the specs in the ZF2 documentation

Add .txt after 'route' => '/robots.txt', and remove the [/:action]

So your code would look like this.

    $route = Http\Segment::factory(array(
        'route' => '/robots.txt',
        'defaults' => array(
            'controller' => 'Application\Controller\Sitemap',
            'action' => 'index'
        ),
    ));
    $router->addRoute('robots', $route, null);

Edit: I know some people would want it to be physical on disk, but this way you have a dynamicrobots.txt file which you can fill in with stuff from the database.

Edit2: And yes i know that you can write it on disk, but there's a pletora of ways you can do this.
