It would form a domain, except that it fails to even be a ring. The 0 matrix has rank 0, so it is never a full rank matrix - therefore the set of full rank square matrices doesn't have an additive identity. It is true that there are no zero divisors among the full rank square matrices: if AB=0, and A has full rank, then it's invertible, so A-1AB=A-10, or B=0. Similarly, if BA=0, BAA-1=0A-1 so B=0.
