This extends the idea to tensors of arbitrary rank

TensorTemplate[x_, dims_]:=
  Fold[PadRight[{},#2,{#1}]&, x, Reverse[dims]]

TensorTemplate[0,{3,4,5}]

        {{{0,0,0,0,0},{0,0,0,0,0},{0,0,0,0,0},{0,0,0,0,0}},
         {{0,0,0,0,0},{0,0,0,0,0},{0,0,0,0,0},{0,0,0,0,0}},
         {{0,0,0,0,0},{0,0,0,0,0},{0,0,0,0,0},{0,0,0,0,0}}
        }

Dimensions[%]

        {3,4,5}
