How many times is Zeeb named in the Tanakh?

6 times, first at Judges 7:25.

A spelling is not a name. The written word זאב stands 8 times in the corpus, which is a different question and often a different number: the same letters can spell another name or an ordinary word, and a name written with a particle attached is a word that search never returns.
