Yes they will run fine (but only Zone Alarm for Firewall - the Internet Security pack icnludes an antivirus as well - and Norton Antivirus). If you have decent resources it will run ok.

If you are planning on using the Zone Alarm Suite that includes an Antivirus progam and Nortons, then no you cannot use both at the same time.
Two Antivirus programs running at the same time will conflict with each other. They see each others virus definitions as an infections and try to remove them. This prevents either program from protecting your computer.
The conflict of the two can also physically damage your Motherboard and/or Hard Drive.
You should only use:
Firewall: One software Firewall program.
AntiVirus: One program.
AntiSpyware: At least two program and preferrably three.

I don't no the answer specifically to this ,but i do know Norton is a very picky and resource hungry application and I've had more people report problems with there PC while using Norton then any other anti-virus/firewalls. If you do choose to use both, I recommend you disable one of the firewalls or you can run into some connection issues. If you are afraid of your computer being attacked it would be best just to get a single Anti-virus/Firewall Such as Kaspersky,which uses considerably less system resources, runs smoother, easier to use, and i believe it detects more then Norton and zone alarm put together.

You can't have 2 anitivirus programs at the same time. They will conflict with eachother. Zone Alarm is however NOT an antivirus program, it is a firewall to prevent hacking,so yes...you can use both

zone alarm is a firewall program, not anti-virus. So in this case, the answer is yes.
If you were actually running two anti-virus programs at the same time, then I would say no. They will conflict with each other and can screw up your computer.

no, you can never have 2 antivirus or 2 firewalls in any computer at any given time. Antivirus programs don't play well with each other, so firewalls. They will be conflicting with each other. But you can have as many antispywares as you want, they get along with each other very well, and complimenting each other's works nicely.

No, multiple Anti-virus software can conflict with each other and cause problems. This could leave you unprotected. I would pick one of the two and stick with it cause in this case more is not better.

yes, but if you are using Windows, loading multiple Virus Protection software applications can cause the machine to run slowly and possibly render both applications ineffective.
