After testing several PDF previewers, it would seem that PDF Xchange's (free) previewer works best with ZPreview, on both Windows machines I have at my disposal. I've updated the page above accordingly.

(Of course, I'll try to get ZPreview to work properly with the other ones as well. All in good time...)
