Solution:
1. Press Alt + F11.
2. Paste the following code there.(Create a User Defined Function)


Code:

   Public Function Count_5_Zeroes() As Integer
           On Error Resume Next
           Dim Count As Integer
           Dim col As Integer
           Dim ro As Integer
           col = Range(Selection.Offset(0, -1).Address(0, 0)).Column
           ro = Range(Selection.Offset(0, -1).Address(0, 0)).Row
           Do
                 If WorksheetFunction.Sum(Cells(ro, col).Value, Cells(ro, col - 1).Value, _
                Cells(ro, col - 2).Value, Cells(ro, col - 3).Value, Cells(ro, col - 4).Value) = 0 Then
                         Count = Count + 1
                         col = col - 4
                End If
                col = col - 1
           Loop Until col < 4
           Count_5_Zeroes = Count - 1
           On Error GoTo 0

More dynamic (because its fetch error #VALUE when the cursor is somehere else) Just modified as below:
Public Function Count_5_Zeroes(x As Range) As Integer
On Error Resume Next
Dim Count As Integer
Dim col As Integer
Dim ro As Integer
Application.Volatile

col = Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(x) + 1
ro = x.Row
Do
If WorksheetFunction.Sum(Cells(ro, col).Value, Cells(ro, col - 1).Value, _
Cells(ro, col - 2).Value, Cells(ro, col - 3).Value, Cells(ro, col - 4).Value) = 0 Then
Count = Count + 1
col = col - 4
End If
col = col - 1
Loop Until col < 4
Count_5_Zeroes = Count - 1
On Error GoTo 0
End Function

For only selected range:

Public Function Count_5_Zeroes(x As Range) As Integer
On Error Resume Next
Dim Count As Integer
Dim col As Integer
Dim ro As Integer
Application.Volatile

col = x.coulmn + Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(x) - 1
ro = x.Row
Do
If WorksheetFunction.Sum(Cells(ro, col).Value, Cells(ro, col - 1).Value, _
Cells(ro, col - 2).Value, Cells(ro, col - 3).Value, Cells(ro, col - 4).Value) = 0 Then
Count = Count + 1
col = col - 4
End If
col = col - 1
Loop Until col < 4
Count_5_Zeroes = Count - 1
On Error GoTo 0
End Function
