What's the ID for a zombie head or a mob head in 1.7? I can't find it.

You'll be looking for "skull". However, the nature of the skull will differ depending on what you're intending to do. Do you mean the item version or the block version?

For the item, /giving a player a zombie head:

/give @p minecraft:skull 1 2

The damage value (2) will determine the type of skull. If you wanted it to be a player head, you would change the damage value to 3 and add a tag called "SkullOwner":

/give @p minecraft:skull 1 3 {SkullOwner:Skylinerw}

/setblocking a zombie skull:

/setblock ~ ~1 ~ minecraft:skull 1 replace {SkullType:2}

The damage value of the block determines position, and the SkullType will instead determine, as it says, the skull type.

To /setblock a player head, you'd need an extra tag called "ExtraType":

/setblock ~ ~1 ~ minecraft:skull 1 replace {SkullType:3,ExtraType:Skylinerw}
