I don't know Zakk Wylde but I'm guessing it's a pinch harmonic, do the harmonic and then bend the string.

http://www.cyberfret.com/techniques/harmonics/pinch/index.php - that should tell you all you need to know. I love this technique, I do them all the time.

Harmonizer. Thats how, im pretty sure he dose it. Thats how I do it on my tune "Disturbing the Peace" and what im doing there is similar to the way his sounds.

I've read in some magazine that Zakk sometimes does the following: he picks a note, then grabs the string with his picking hand between where it is fretted and the headstock and pulls the string away from the fretboard.
Maybe you meant this, but it could also be a pinched harmonic.
