No, they aren't. Zebra mussels are mussels, which is a kind of bivalve mollusk. They call them that because of there pattern on the shell. Some don't have it, but most do.

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.
