The Portuguese tactician, appointed on Friday, saw his side take the lead in stoppage time through Mostafa El Gamal's strike.
However, Petrojet equalised just a minute later when Ahmed Mawgod scored an own goal, denying Peseiro a winning start.
The result leaves Zamalek three points adrift of league leaders Al Ahly, whom they will face next weekend.
