Please read the last line to every message on r-help.  In particular
make it reproducible and minimal.  The code you post should look like
this where you have cut down DF1, DF2 and DF3 to the smallest number
of rows that still exhibits the error.

DF1 <- ...output from dput(DF1)....
DF2 <- ...output from dput(DF2)...
DF3 <- ...output from dput(DF3)...

z1 <- zoo(...)
z2 <- zoo(...)
z3 <- zoo(...)

m <- merge(z1, z2)
m2 <- merge(z3, m) # error
