Four zones and 3 valves

We have a 4 zone system that worked perfectly last year (new home). This year we found that Zone 3 will not turn on using the timer. On checking the valves we found that we have just 3 valves. However Zone3 that would not turn on from the timer can be turned on "manually" using the valve. We also found that 2 of the other zones are both controlled by one valve (using manual operation). The timer does have 4 leads indicating 4 zones.

So now if we use the timer Zone 1 and Zone 2&4 (simultaneously) are turned on. No Zone 3. Manually (using the valves) Zone 1, Zone 3 and Zone 2&4(together) can be turned on. Totally bafflng!! Can someone please take a guess at what is happening.
