Hello, my browser keeps launching pop-ups and alerts saying that my PC is infected with Zeus. That is quite strange because typically my antivirus doesn’t show its alerts via web browser. How should I react to these pop-ups?
Am I infected with ZEUS trojan?

Yes, Zeus is a dangerous computer virus, however, in this case, it is clear that you are NOT infected with Zeus Trojan. Everything you wrote describes a simple Tech Support Scam program that seeks to trick you into calling fraudsters.
To remove pop-ups telling you about Zeus infection, you should run a system scan using anti-malware software to detect the software that triggers them on your screen. We heartily recommend using FortectIntego, although programs like SpyHunter 5Combo Cleaner are useful, too. They can help to identify and remove Zeus virus (the real one) in case there is one on your computer system.
