HOWEVER, when I place the voltmeter negative lead on the bolt that holds the negative cable to the car body, I get zero or near zero volts. Is this a problem?

Probably not (likely a bad connection between the probe and the bolt), a better test would be a measurement of the voltage between the battery + terminal and the engine (head, intake manifold, block itself).
Does the car start now?
