Installing a wireless SBC DSL network for two computers in different parts of the house. Currently run Zone Alarm, AVG, SpyBOT, Adware, Windows Firewall on the dialups. Will adding Zone Alarm be enough to make me "invisible" and "safe"?

If you don't secure the wireless network all the software won't protect yuou against "war Driving" !
I also suggest specifically blocking both TCP and UDP ports 135 ~ 139 and 445 on your Router.
The 2wire modem/routers supplied by SBC permit up to 128-bit incryption. The default is 48 or 64. See the 2Wire website for details or just browse the settings in your modem.
