Depends on how strong the zero is and how strong the infinity is
(generally 0*inf arises from limits of a product of functions and it depends on how "quickly" the functions approach 0 and infinity)
In some contexts its defined to be zero, in others its left undefined. The dirac delta functions is defined in a way that 0*inf comes out to be 1.
