I've got demos of Doom and Quake, both from id Software.
There are source ports for both of those games, so you don't have to play them in DOS if you don't want to

Apparently, the only way you can get the full version is by calling id Software and ordering it.
I don't know if they still take phone orders, but you can still find collections that contain those games for pretty cheap in stores.
Or you can buy them off Steam, but their version of Quake doesn't include the CD soundtrack, so you'd either have to pirate that or live without.

They very much still exist, though Adrien and Romero aren't there anymore. I don't think Tom Hall and Sandy Petersen are there anymore either, but I could be wrong.
They're up to DOOM 3 now (with rumors of a fourth) and Quake 4 (which was outsourced to Raven, who also did the last Wolfenstein game), and are going to be releasing a new IP, RAGE, some time soon.

No, the ZeniMax merger is something quite recent.
Actually, Wikipedia says it happened in June 2009. Time flies.
They'd been published by Activision for about a decade or so before that happened.
