You can't with a free version.

Did you check program part of the log. It should be there.

If it is not(first enable trial for Pro version from ZoneAlarm free user
interface, you can restore to free version after trial version ends),
then create expert rule to block all program to connect through port 80
and enable log for that rule. Leave over night and maybe you will find
out. Don't do it while you are working since by blocking port 80 you
wan't have access to WWW servers. You can specify time range in expert
rules.
