ZOMG is a derivative of the Internet shorthand term for "Oh My God," OMG. The term is commonly used to express humorously overwrought excitement and as a way of mocking internet slang as a whole. It is most likely representative of carelessly pressing the left shift key to capitalize "OMG" and hitting the adjacent "Z" key in the process. Some claim that it is an acronym for "zealous oh my god", but this is most likely a backronym invented after the term itself.

The problem with the internet is that it creates a need for words like "backronym."
