Spectaculator is good for both Windows 7 and Android but it is not entirely free

ZX-Spectrum-4 is also very good but again not free.

FUSE ZX is widly used and is freeware. Try these three first to get going.

Alzabo is our emulator curator and does an amazing job keeping these all up to date. He might have other opinions on these and other emulators.
