Bill,
Some factors to consider:
1.One may be tempted to store the results locally in your database (or in any format) to improve performance. This is against their TnC. There is also a potential for the local data to get out of synch with Zillow.
2.If your site is nation wide, you may also want to consider the daily limit of the API calls and want to work with Zillow to increase it.
3.If you follow Zillow TnC, the pages you create will have many, many links pointing to Zillow. Essentially, you may end up sending visitors of your site to Zillow? Something to consider. This is the price you pay for using their FREE content.
Cheers!
