Zero (no forces), or two or more forces that add up to zero.
In most cases, when a body is at rest, there are two forces acting on it: the force of gravity pulling downward and the normal force pushing upward. These forces are equal and opposite, resulting in a balanced or net force of zero.
If a body is at rest ... or traveling at a constant speed in a straight line ... there could well be millions of forces acting on it. The only conclusion you can draw from the fact that it has no acceleration is that all the forces acting on it must add up to zero.
Yes, gravity is constantly acting on all objects even when they are at rest.
Equal.
When an object is at rest, the forces acting upon it are balanced - there are no unbalanced forces.

The force is said to be "equilibrant" when acting with other forces it would keep the body at rest ie in equilibrium. Hence equilibrant would be equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the resultant of all the forces acting on the body.
Balanced forces means that the sum of the forces acting on a body is zero, and the body will have constant velocity, either at rest, or moving in a particular direction.
Yes, gravity is constantly acting on all objects even when they are at rest.
All forces acting on it cancel out.
