A zygote is way too early to test but you can test a fetus but it is too risky so they don't do a amniocentesis just for that. You have to wait until after birth.

To do that you have to stick a needle into the baby so no, that is not without risks. Nothing can be in such a hurry that you can't wait til the baby's born.

It is possible to do this but there are big risks to the baby so the test should only be done where there is a specific medical need.

The paternity test is done on both the father AND the child. Most, if not all, jurisdictions require a paternity test before awarding monthly child support payments.
