In summary: it's been decided that the character of Zach--depicted as gay in every way except having him utter the words "I am gay"--is now formally and officially not gay.

Here is Tim Kring's official reply to the "Zach is gay/Zach isn't gay" controversy, from http://afterelton.logo-blogs.com/2006/12/11/heroes-creator-tim-kring-speaks-
out-about-heroes-gay-controversy/.

"I am very sorry this has caused concern for the readers of your website. It was certainly not our intention to confuse the issue of Zach’s character being gay. We have too much respect for our audience to do that intentionally. However, it has simply become too complicated behind the scenes to push this issue further with this particular character. We apologize for misleading the audience, and wish that we could have handled things better on our end. But making a TV show is often a very imprecise business. As you stated, Heroes is a big, sprawling drama and there is no reason to believe that a gay character will not be represented on our show in the future. It is my hope than we do, we do it with honesty and dignity. That will certainly be our attempt."
