Hi Max - welcome to the community forum.
The short answer to your question is YES. Webroot's firewall monitors the outgoing traffic whilst the Windows firewall monitors the incoming. They work very well together. You do not need ZA so I would uninstall it and ensure that you activate your Windows firewall afterwards.
