Ad-Aware SE Personal..

A2 Squared (Anti-Trojan)

AVG, ZoneAlarm and Spybot do entirely separate functions.

ZoneAlarm is a personal firewall - it is not an anti-virus or an anti-spyware tool (the professional version does include an anti-spyware add on but you need to pay for this version).

Computer viruses are entirely different animals to computer spyware and require different tools.  You need to have an anti-viris, a firewall and anti-spyware software.

Without all 3 you are at serious risk on the internet!
