Perhaps you just didn't realize, what your problems really are.
If I understand you correctly, I would answer that it is not
a virus problem.

Yes. It's just the problem, that Zone Alarm (like many "Personal
Firewalls") is b0rken by design.

You don't want to remove it, so you will not solve your problems.

the best is, in my opinion, to follow good practices rather
than experimenting on your own

Why then not removing Zone Alarm?
