I would hesitantly address the first two both as zah-HEER, and if that wasn't right try zy-EER. I wouldn't try pronouncing them any differently because I don't speak Arabic, so I would impose some different pronunciation by mere assumption. However, I do speak intermediate Spanish, so if I met an obviously hispanic person, I would pronounce the name sy-EERR (slightly rolled r), or if I wanted to ease off the accent, zy-EER. But I would never attempt zah-heer because in Spanish, I know the h's are always silent.
