Were there Hebrews that worshiped more than the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Yes. Heck, the Israelites were constantly turning to other gods. That does not make Judaism polytheistic. I have seen nothing that suggests that Judaism the religion involved the worship of anything other than the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Considering that the prevailing suggested date of Zoroaster's birth is considered to be the 6th Century BC, I find it hard to believe that it was he that had an effect on Judaism and not the other way around (at least, when it comes to the similarities between the 2).
