This last question is asked, because it seems that ip addresses to not log are specifically that, not logged versus not shown. Would think that would want to log all accesses (unless REALLY concerned about log space) and just ignore them when reviewing the logs.
I've gone ahead and made the modifications described above. Additionally added code that was obtained from this forum that addressed the presentation of the idle time. The following is taken from the update file.

Added ability to hide/show spider visits using the spiders.txt file of Zen Cart. Default view is to hide spider visits.

Modified the information shown at the bottom of the view to show the number of users and number of bots/spiders that have visited. This spider/bot information will show whether the actual visit is or is not shown.

Also incorporated modifications published in this Thread/Forum related to display of the Idle time of a visitor. (Previous calculations lead to incorrect display depending on timezone.) Just added it in, so still needs to go through review and acceptance.
