Since a black hole last practically forever, the black hole's volume is almost infinite. (This is also a way of explaining the fact that you can pour stuff into a black hole forever and never fill it up. Another reason why black holes never fill up is that the radius of the event horizon increases as the mass of the black hole increases.)

Absolute zero is used wrt temperature.
Black holes are interesting. Their "volume" isnt constant, or even a clearly defined idea.
In solid mechanics of materials you can use a constant force to cause a constant elastic deformation in a solid material. Think about an eraser, you squeeze it, and it deforms, you let go, and it undeforms.
In fluid mechanics, a constant force causes a constant deformation rate in a fluid. The fluid is being continuously deformed.
Your idea of volume is like the solid-mechanics idea of volume. The material is squeezed till the variable called volume is zero.
I only know "simple" black holes, and not all the cool math & newer spinning, charged ... black holes. In the model that I understand the idea of volume is more like the fluid dynamics version.
Mass bends space-time. That means that the distance between two points isnt constant, its dependend on masses that can deform it. In a black hole the masses are put so close together that they do this constant deformation rate thing on spacetime, always pulling each other together, always deforming spacetime more so there isnt a static reference distance.
Theory says that the electric field at the surface of an electron can be infinite. Theres a lot of electrons in the universe to have infinite fields.
Our idea of volume, and time, and mass are artificial, they are constructs. They are models we have made to describe the universe, but they do not necessarily reflect a single fundamental truth about the nature of the universe. We humans have limits, and both quantum and black holes are outside of those limits. We attempt to use mathematics to contrive a language to describe unobservable phenomena, and there is some small success, but there is some failure.
Bottom line: we dont know, and even if we get a functioning, safe black hole in a lab, we will still not know because we are just guessing with math and science.

It depends how you define the size of a black hole.
All black holes have at their heart a singularity. The precise nature of this singularity is not known. Some theorists - most notably string theorists - insist that quantum theory must still apply at the singularity and that therefore general relativity breaks down, so that its size, though small, is not zero. However, there is no proof that it is not the other way around, and that the singularity does have zero size and that quantum mechanics is wrong at this scale. Quantum mechanics itself - including string theory - models the world in terms of things that have zero size at least in some dimensions.
However, the event horizon of a black hole - which is what many would consider its size - need not be small at all, and the volume enclosed by it could be bigger than our solar system.

Our intuitive sense of volume breaks down in the strong gravitational region in a black hole. So while the "size" of a black hole is given by the radius of its event horizon, it's volume is not determined by the usual 4/3*pi*r3. Instead, relativity makes it more complicated than that. As you pass the event horizon, the spatial direction 'inwards' becomes 'towards the future'-- you WILL reach the center, it's as inevitable as next Monday. The direction outsiders think of as their future becomes a spatial dimension once you are inside. The volume of a black hole, therefore, is its surface area times the length of time the hole exists (using the speed of light to convert from seconds to meters). Since a black hole last practically forever, the black hole's volume is almost infinite. (This is also a way of explaining the fact that you can pour stuff into a black hole forever and never fill it up. Another reason why black holes never fill up is that the radius of the event horizon increases as the mass of the black hole increases.)

hey man!! we use absolute zero in temperatures.. not in this we must use zero
coming to ur Q i think u heard that black holes density is infinity and u thought of the density formula and came to that assumption
ACTUALLY IT IS NOT BY THAT FORMULA

One correction in your question:
Absolute Zero means 0K or -273.16degree celcius.
But I understand your question. Usually size of the black holes are zero. That is once a black hole is formed it gets more & more compressed under it's own gravity and becomes a Singularity. At this point we can't apply the Physics that we use. (not even the RELATIVITY or the QUANTUM MECHANICS...!)
But black holes have something called EVENT OF HORIZON. At thius point, the escape velocity is c. Usually this distance is taken as radius of Black hole

Only when the temperature within that volume is at -273.16 degrees Celsius, also known as a Zero Kelvin or Absolute Zero.

Absolute 0 isn't relatively a temperature. on the Kelvin scale, it extremely is a analyzing of 0 ok and -273 on the Celsius scale. At this theoretical temperature, all action of molecules stops. because of the fact it extremely is impossible to thoroughly isolate a gadget from its atmosphere, you are able to no longer ever thoroughly stop the action of the molecules (or atoms) in that substance. as an occasion, in case you have a tennis ball in a very, very chilly freezer, it would nevertheless might desire to be touching the freezer, meaning that action of molecules might flow interior the form of warmth into the tennis ball from the freezer partitions. The freezer partitions might might desire to be thoroughly off the tennis ball. the closest you are able to ever get is to grasp by capacity of a string the tennis ball from the best, that way, the only component the ball is touching is the string. except you will possibly be able to desire to magically glide the tennis ball, you does not have the capacity to thoroughly stop the action interior it. for this reason, you will possibly be able to desire to never attain absolute 0. in case you will no longer be able to attain absolute 0, you are able to no longer attain a volume of 0.

no, of course not, all blackholes have dimension. Time and space are distorted by a blackhole, of course any matter distorts time and space. The actual dimensions of the matter in a blackhole is only theoretical. The only meaningful dimension is the schwarzild radius this is a distance from the black hole beyond where matter and energy cannot escape, it is also called the event horizon beyond this point the physical laws of our universe are useless.

not quite.actual singularities(matter compressed into infinitesimal space)can't exist.the smallest distance that can exist is known as the Planck distance,10 to the -33 cm.besides absolute zero isn't a measurment of volume,its a tempurature!!!
