Well, if it's multi-way to the flop, you will occasionally get coolered with a hand like 3's by someone with a higher pair that also flopped a set.  I think if you vary your play pre-flop, limp sometimes, raise sometimes, you should be fine.  As I said before, I don't like to limp pre-flop, but at the same time, it's a fine play especially if you KNOW your opponent is going to 3bet.  In a pool like Zoom, it's hard to get that kind of read on any one specific, unless you have played a lot of hands against them.  In that situation, it's fine to limp pre.

It's the check behind on the flop where I feel like you lost value here.  Like you said, you want to build a pot, and there are three streets (including the flop) where you can get value.  Why pass on one street of value?

100% this.  Raising is fine most of the time, and it's okay to limp on the odd occasion.  Sometimes if I know FOR SURE that someone's hyper aggressive and will 3bet often and I have a hand that I want to take to the flop and I'm deep stacked enough, I'm okay with putting in 4.5bb instead of raising 2-3bb and then have to call off another 6-7 bbs.

There's no right and wrong answer to the pre-flop action here.  It really does come down to the table dynamics and knowing your opponents (as best as you can at least).
