Of course there is, just check out LSJ. You are making the mistake of
letting modern, or at least later, Greek influence your understanding of
ancient. ζώον (ZWON) as a substantive may refer to animals, but the
adjective certainly existed in ancient Greek.

If you mean that ZWH modifies DIKAIOSUNHN, that is incorrect.

Right -- ζωὴ (ZWH) is a predicate nominative. However, usually the term
"agreement" is reserved for adjectives, pronouns, and participles.
