You will be better off, in this case, using the command-line Nmap rather
than Zenmap for these big scans. Zenmaps keeps information about the
whole scan at once in memory, while Nmap uses only enough memory for a
few thousand hosts at a time. You can save the results to an XML file
(-oX option, http://nmap.org/book/output-formats-xml-output.html) and
open the XML in Zenmap later, after the scan is finished.
