[a] Journalists using Zillow's site would likely be viewed as personal or editorial use, not commercial use.
[b] Bloomberg probably worked with Zillow.
[c] I'm not sure EFF would be interested in this. It's pretty standard TOS language, and when EFF did get involved in the Craigslist/Padmapper case, it was (correctly) interested in stomping on idiotic CFAA theories of liability and the exclusive license point. If Zillow tried to strongarm journalists, that would be a different story, but they have not done so as far as I know.
Background: I was a journalist before founding https://recent.io/ https://recent.io/ and would often get approached by companies like Zillow to write about what their data showed.
