Maybe it can't find the nmap.exe executable. Did you install Nmap and
Zenmap or are you just running them from within some directory not in
the PATH? In that case you need to configure nmap_command_path in the
zenmap.conf file: http://nmap.org/book/zenmap-files.html#zenmap-executable

But when Zenmap can't execute Nmap it normally shows a dialog explaining
the situation. Try running
        set ZENMAP_DEVELOPMENT=1
        zenmap -v -v -v
and then send in the zenmap.exe.log file.
