Your question is immensely vague. You can sell anything you like. If you want to call that product "donation" or "t-shirt", it's the same thing in the end: you're collecting money for something from the customer.
You can set up a product with the price of 1.00 and let people purchase as many of those as they wish to "donate"/buy.
If by "donation" you mean some sort of automated way of sending the collected funds to your local charity, you'll need to write custom code to do that. Or just write a check.

Zen Cart doesn't have built-in recurring billing support at the present time.
You would need to write your own code to do that.

well i know usaepay have that feature on the site itself maybe you guy could add in a code later ?:) as for subscriptions can i add it in as a product ???

You can add whatever capability you like if you're willing to write the code to support it. There's a lot more to "subscriptions" than just charging someone for a product.

It's best to stick with one question per thread. Just leave the product types you aren't using alone. Changing a product type is complex; probably more than you want to bite off for now. But to read about it, go to https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=114
