so, you turn on hot water boiler fires up zone valve opens and provides hot water.
you turn boiler off and 2 port closes but boiler still runs thru diverting around by-pass.
does it do this when you switch on and turn off within 10 secs of 2 port opening to be 100% sure of flow direction?
if so, its programmer
if not micro-switch in valve.

from what your saying then the programmer is naffed- ebay £40
personally i would be going straight to zone valve and testing the micro-switch contact with a multimeter. then if all is correct inside i would buy a programmer.
if the heating valve head is the same then swap them over is worth trying then just run hot water mode.
your choice to your skills!
