Zero-day attack is an attempt to exploit computer vulnerability that is yet unknown.
Once one user on a network becomes exploited, every host on that subnet should be considered hostile
When a bot herder launches a zero-day exploit, neighboring hosts do certainly fall:
the local subnet is a very dangerous place to have an attacker
(Again, don't be foolish to think antivirus companies are ahead of the game!)
Your well-being really depends on the operating system security and the network security.
