Don't know about zone alarm but you can set up AVG to update the virus defs 
automatically once a day. Just go to the AVG Control Center and click 
Sceduler and then scheduled tasks and either update the second item "update 
plan in basic mode" to set the time you want the auto update to run daily 
and also click update when goes online. In update manager properties you can 
set some other options regarding auto reboot and ending tasks automatically.
