We continue our work on group-theoretic generalizations of the prime Ax-Katz Theorem by giving a lower bound on the $p$-adic divisibility of the cardinality of the set of simultaneous zeros $Z(f_1,f_2,\dotsc,f_r)$ of $r$ maps $f_j:A\rightarrow B_j$ between finite commutative $p$-groups $A$ and $B_j$ in terms of the invariant factors of $A,B_1,B_2,\dotsc,B_r$, and the \emph{functional degrees} of the maps $f_1,f_2,\dotsc,f_r$ in the sense of the Aichinger-Moosbauer calculus. Our prior work had treated the special case in which $A$ has prime exponent; the general case brings significant technical complications. Using this together with prior work of Aichinger-Moosbauer and the present authors, we deduce a similar $p$-adic divisibility result on $\# Z(f_1,f_2,\dotsc,f_r)$ for maps $f_j: A\rightarrow B_j$ between any finite commutative groups for any prime $p\mid\# A$.
