Well, Zurenava 0.50 is the latest, so maybe upgrading would help (if using 0.49). At least it's FOSS (unlike PMODE/W, although that is free even for commercial use now). But yeah, there are more compatible extenders (e.g. DOS/32A). ZRDX is used in C--, but AFAIK, it crashes upon exit in FreeDOS (unless you have some EMM386 loaded), dunno why. You can always override the built-in stub by typing "DOS32A myfile.exe" or "CWSTUB myfile.exe", and that should work instead of manually stubbing. (This workaround would potentially be good inside an alias or DOSKEY macro.) Just FYI.

EDIT: The latest QuickView Pro seems to be 2.58 (from March 1, 2007)
