there is a micro switch in each zone valve , when it fully opens it tripps this switch turning on the gas valve ( i know there are electronic controls , high /low limit switches ect ect ect , for the sake of this post humor me )  ...so the valve opens and the heating of the water starts ........ so you have a bad micro switch or a broken wire from that(#1) zone valve . i dont  know anymore what numbers on the valve connections control that but look for wires that go from valve to valve and then to the boiler  one my be broken . other wise you need a zone valve   .. ps:....you might try just removeing the cover and look at the switch the valve may be a little stuck and open its just not reaching the switch , a nuge from a well placed screwdriver might free up the valve
