If you have a short, voltage does not drop to zero. The battery continues to supply a voltage to the circuit. Without voltage no current would flow, without current flowing your wires would not melt and fuses would not blow.
Ah, but you forget, there is resistance in the wire which allows the current to flow. If there were a way to have a PERFECT no ohm load, then there would be nothing on the voltage.
