I'm sorry what I suggested didn't work for you. It's worked for me with other programs and it's worked for a friend of mine when they had a problem with BOClean accessing the internet. But I've never manually added a program to Zone Alarm. I've always opened Yahoo! Messenger and then let Zone Alarm pop up it's two prompts and I allow or deny and/or remember accordingly.
You can try two more things. The first is to refresh Zone Alarm's database. This effectively clears out your configurations so you can start over. Directions can be found here:

ZAP Pro-Not Retain Program Settings When Restart?The other option is a clean uninstall followed by a reinstallation of Zone Alarm. I know you are using Version 7 of Zone Alarm and I don't think much has changed in how to perform a clean uninstall. Directions by IGGY9
