As VMware said in your mentioned link, there is no option to keep session alive in Zero Client, just in View clients you can set 0 as the value of Session Timeout.
Also i checked your Zero Client user guide here and I think you cannot modify any config_file to keep a VDI session alive in Direct Agent connection, but for a recommendation search in windows registry about settings of Direct Agent, maybe you can find a related value
