You have just been introduced to one of 98SE's major features - the inability to shutdown! There are many varied reasons, for this behaviour. e.g I have seen computers with unconnected NICs that freeze on shutdown - plug them into a network and they will instantly continue with shutdown. If this has just started since you loaded ZA; try to prove this is the problem by killing off ZA before attempting shut down.
Otherwise, try the same proceedure with any other programs that are running, one at a time. Microsoft have posted a troubleshooter for 98se shutdown problems.
