For instance, if I wanted to say: "I have had several practicums" correctly. Is it "practicums" or "practice" or something different entirely? I didn't think that "practicums" was right.

I thought it was practicums, but I wanted to be sure, seems I was right!

prac·ti·*** [ práktikəm ] (plural prac·ti·cums)
http://encarta.msn.com/dictionary_1861737512/practicum.html

practicum (singular), practicums (plural)

I'm sorry but 'zeal' is an abstract noun and therefore has no plural form. It is like asking for the plural of hatred or anxiety which is impossible. Someone with this characteristic (zeal) is termed as a 'zealot' and the plural is 'zealots'. You could look it up in the dictionary if you want. Zeal is a feeling and is not countable. Get it?
