zsh function case condition parse error near `)'

I'm following this blog to setup a zsh function to switch aws cli profiles : https://mads-hartmann.com/2017/04/27/multiple-aws-profiles.html

This is the zsh function in the blog:

function aws-switch() {
    case ${1} in
        "")
        clear)
            export AWS_PROFILE=""
            ;;
        *)
            export AWS_PROFILE="${1}"
            ;;
    esac
}

#compdef aws-switch
#description Switch the AWS profile

_aws-switch() {

    local -a aws_profiles

    aws_profiles=$( \
        grep '\[profile' ~/.aws/config \
        | awk '{sub(/]/, "", $2); print $2}' \
        | while read -r profile; do echo -n "$profile "; done \
    )

    _arguments \
        ':Aws profile:($(echo ${aws_profiles}) clear)'
}

_aws-switch "$@"

I added these lines to my ~/.zshrc, when I run source ~/.zshrc It gives /.zshrc:4: parse error near `)' I read the zsh function doc but still not very good at understanding the syntax and how could I fix this.

Have a look at the zsh man page (man zshmisc):

case word in [ [(] pattern [ | pattern ] ... ) list (;;|;&|;|) ] ... esac

As you see, you have to separate multiple pattern by |:

case $1 in
  |clear)
    ....
