Possible if HEAD requests are used -- only headers are sent by the webserver, and while this will use actual bandwidth many log analysis programs won't take this into account as they only calculate size of object body as reported in logs. It should be zero for HEAD requests.

Its possible but I'd say its pretty unusual so would look for other than mine explanation.

It could also be (properly formed) GET request with the "If Modified Since" header, which would return a 304 with no content.
