Dont know what is the differences between them,but for me these are like BCash,Bitcointgold,etc they are shitforked coins that doesnt have any use.
These are not forked from Bitcoin. Two of the interesting features are: 1) increased privacy through zero knowledge proofs, 2) ASIC-resistant mining algorithm (Equihash).

ZenCash also have these characteristics:

Quote
    21 million ZenCash cap - no premine, no ICO
    Thousands of Secure Nodes in operation - 3.5% of mining reward
    Treasury funds for development, support, marketing - 8.5% of mining reward
    Strong Team & Representative Governance - Zen Blockchain Foundation
    Wallets and communication clients for International Users
    Marketing Globalization - Tailored approach to different markets
    Secure Nodes provide a resilient, distributed network

Some of the mining reward is going to the "treasury funds", not only to miners.

The question is in the title.

I wonder what the difference between ZCash, ZClassic and ZenCash is? All three projects seem to be related or based on the same code base, right?

zcash is the original project, zcash classic is the project of zcash without the dev fee of 2 coins per block that will go to the dev for the first 4 years, zencash is just a fork of these coins with the same algorithm, but there is no mining apparently

Oh thanks for the explanation. So if I got it right, ZenCash is currently the most advanced of these three, right?

I also wonder whether Zclassic's development is continued when it was forked?

Zclassic is a fork of Zcash, without the 20% premine for founders Zcash had.
Zen is a fork of Zclassic with SegWit support (or capability) and other cryptographic technologies, an upgrade. If you owned Zclassic before block 100.000 you could import your Zclassic private keys to Zen and you'd get 1:1 of the amount of Zclassic you had.
