I got Zabbix to monitor JBoss using the following link.

http://skajla.blogspot.com/2010/07/jboss-monitoring-using-zabbix.html

It basically requires you to enable JMX on your server. Then run his .jar file server-side through UserParameters.

UserParameter=Daemon_Threads,java -jar /opt/skajla-JMXClient.jar 127.0.0.1 9999 admin jmxpass java.lang:type=Threading DaemonThreadCount

Just make sure your Zabbix Agent has permissions to run the .jar file.

If it returns some garbage values, you may need to change some of JMX parameters, which I had to do.
