From Fiqh's perspective (especially in the Law of Evidence of Islam) these are technical words.
The concepts are about the degree of certainy or believe.
The highest degree is "yaqin" or absolute certainty.
Below it is "zan" that is probable.
Below it is "wahm" that is possible (the degree is lesser than "zan").
Below it is "shak" that is your assumption is unlikely to be true.
Simple example:
If you see with your own eyes X stabs Y with a knife, then you can say to the court that you are sure/certain (yaqin) that X stabs Y with a knife.
You may see with your own eyes that X carries a knife with him, then had a quarel with Y. Because of the distance or other factors, you cannot see whether X actually stabs Y. But after that you hear Y screaming and see X run with the knife in his hand that has blood on it. In this scenario you can say you saw X probably (zan) stabbed Y. But you are not 100% sure because you did not see the actual act of stabbing.
If you see X without any knife passes in front of Y and only after 30 minutes (and at that time, X is no where seen around Y), you see Y screaming with blood on his stomach, you may say that you suspects (shak) that X did that to him. But that is only a "shak" (suspicion) as you did not know for sure and there is no prove that X did that to Y.
"Wahm" is in between "shak" and "zan".
I hope you can understand my explanation.
Further notes:
Actually "Yaqin" itself has different degree such as "ainul yaqin" and "haqqul yaqin".

Absurd. There are no Zan, Shak or Wahm anywhere in Islamic teachings.

These words have no relation to Islam. They sound to me to be gibberish at best! You need to be clearer with what these words are.
But MAYBE and it's a long shot, the first two words are: Dhann (Suspicion), Shuk (this is not arabic.. urdu i think: doubting).
About suspicion, it is a major sin in Islam. Allah says in the Qur'an,
"O you who believe! Avoid much suspicion; indeed some suspicions are sins. And spy not, neither backbite one another. Would one of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? You would hate it (so hate backbiting). And fear Allah. Verily, Allah is the One Who forgives and accepts repentance, Most Merciful." [Surat al-Hujuraat :49]
Narrated Abu Hurairah (ra): Allah's Messenger (saw) said, "Beware of suspicion, for suspicion is the worst of false tales; and do not look for other's faults, and do not do spying on one another, and .... And O Allah's worshippers! Be brothers!." [Sahih al Bukhari]
Suspicion entails something like seeing a man and woman maybe someone ur acquainted with) together and thinking bad of them, "What an immoral man/woman... they're having a haram relationship" When actually it may be the woman's brother with her! And you may tell someone of this suspicion, and slander is a major sin!!
I think you will find this article MOST enlightening! I love the sister who wrote this article.. http://www.islamawareness.net/Backbiting/gheebah.html
Assalam alaikum dear.
