I'm hardly surprised that Symantec is saying you don't have protection after all they are trying to sell products.
Zone Alarm to also doesn't detect avast as it too has a suite with an av that they are trying to sell.
Base your decisions on if avast is running and working on your system rather than the comment of a competitor AV, after al what would an on-line scanner be doing telling you you haven't got protection, that isn't what you asked it to do.
There are many on-line scanners and many better than symantec at that IMHO. On-line Virus Scanners and other useful Links
