Zhmok (presumably) is a playful distortion chmok (the sound of a kiss,
kiss used as a predicative). There is a verb -- chmoknut' (to kiss).

This won't help you much with these text terms (which I've not seen much of
in Russia, honestly), but does have a lot of slang related to SMS-ing and
cell phones in general.

One term I will throw out for you - while I was dating in Russia, one girl
consistently ended her messages with "zhmok." It took me forever to figure
out what this meant - but it's basically equivalent of the "smilik" :* (for
a kiss). "Zhmok" is apparently the Russian equivalent of "smack" - a sound
made by a quick kiss.

SEELANGERS:
Does anyone know of web sites for texting/SMS in Russian? I'd like to
prepare
a list for high-frequency text terms like LOL, CUL8R, etc.
Appreciate any help.
All the Best,
Jack Franke
