The short answer is yes.

The long answer is yes, assuming that the zeros are true numbers, not just blanks or missings that were filled in as zero by some software tool (many times software packages have options that treat missing values as zero).

If the zero is a valid instance, count it.

Example:

Rainfall in inches this week: 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 5. The average is 1 (7/7).

Height of adults in inches: 72, 68, 60, 0, 62, 65. The average is 65.4 (327/5). The 0 was a missing number, clearly not a valid height.
