Mauricio,
You can have more than one source. However your sources.list looks like
it has one source for stable-main and stable-nonUS, for both the binary
and source packages. This is fine.
zlib is a psuedo package, or has been replaced it seems. Perhaps you
want zlib1g, or zlibc?
apt-cache search zlib will give you a whole list.
apt-cache search show <package name> will tell you exactly what you are
getting.

Quick question: can I have more than one source for packages in
/etc/apt/sources.list?
Also, why wouldn't I be able to get zlib:
katrina:/home/raub/todo# apt-get install zlib
Reading Package Lists... Done

Package zlib has no available version, but exists in the database.
This typically means that the package was mentioned in a dependency and
never uploaded, has been obsoleted or is not available with the contents
of sources.list
E: Package zlib has no installation candidate

Incidentally, this is how my /etc/apt/sources.list looks like:
katrina:/home/raub/todo# cat /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ stable main
deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ stable main
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main
