Avast is the best free AV software (my opinion).

I have no problems using a combination of AVG Free Edition and ZoneAlarm. I recently asked a question on this site about keeping ZoneAlarm since I started using AVG. I was advised to keep the ZoneAlarm because the two programs compliment each other.
