No. Zebra mussel are only called so because of their black and white appearance. Zebra are not mussels at all, but are equines.

Is a zebra and a zebra mussel closely related?

No, not at all. They are completely different things. Zebras are very distantly related to zebra mussels, the only connection being that they are both members of the animal kingdom. The name zebra mussel is based only on the somewhat stripy appearance of the mussel, not on an actual relationship to the zebra.
