If you are depending on Zone alarm security suite Antivirus ,I suggest you test the antivirus if it does what you are expecting it to do.
I thing the Antivirus has a security problem with Antivirus active & On access scanning on it doesn't prevent from executing a virus that it can be detected with manual scan.
I tested the thing with Eicar test file.
There was no problem to run Eicar.com further more I tested it with win32/ torjan dropper that I could extract it from no passworded zip file and copy it form folder to folder (I didn't run it) in manual scan the torjan was detected even in zip file.
So I thing it's very serious that the Antivirus can not be trusted to do the job if it dose not alert or prevent running this kind of files.
To test you can go to this site;
