Real: A number that is not complex. 0 is real.
Rational: A number that may be expressed as a fraction. 0 may be expressed as 0/1, and is thus rational.
Irrational: A number that may not be expressed as a fraction. Since 0 is rational, it is not irrational.
Integer: The set of natural numbers, their negatives, and 0. Since 0 is in the definition, it is an integer.
Whole: The set of nonnegative integers. 0 is nonnegative, and is thus whole.
Counting: the set of natural numbers, which does not include 0.
Thus, 0 is Real, Rational, an Integer, and Whole.

none zero is a math concept and not a number at all it just is a place holder to go higher the 9 in a counting scale
