Right, so you downloaded the 7-zip file yes? The md5sum is for the zip file NOT for the extracted .iso! ;)

After extracting the 64bit UTL 9 ISO this is what I got.

Code:
[user@myserver 64bit]$ md5sum zorin-os-9-ultimate-64.iso
abfca45c788799fdaec53663c50542ab  zorin-os-9-ultimate-64.iso


which exactly matches see!
abfca45c788799fdaec53663c50542ab
abfca45c788799fdaec
( well exactly, without the rest of the characters )

and the zip is
Code:
[user@myserver zip]$ md5sum zorin-os-9-ultimate-64.7z
b56289b2fd327f069bb95a987c29bf85  zorin-os-9-ultimate-64.7z


which matches the other md5sum.
b56289b2fd327f069bb95a987c29bf85
b56289b2fd327f06
(once again, plus more characters )

sounds to me like your download and you image are good! you should try it.
and if your not wanting to change from ubuntu to Zorin quite yet, that is kool try it in Virtual box for a bit till you get the hang of it.
