I had to go back to stock (wiped internal memory), then I wiped everything in CWR in preperation for a new ROM... BUT... I forgot to put the zip file back. What commands would I use to fastboot the file to internal memory?
If you don't see that you need to install the appropriate drivers on your workstation. Once you see the above results the command I told you to do should work.

As what Jax said.. adb and fastboot use different drivers. You can adb all day long while the phone is booted but when you go into recovery it uses different drivers. Update your drivers while you're in recovery & you should be golden.
If yes, then you should be able to plug your phone into your computer while in recovery. Then right-click on My Computer > Manage > Device Manager & there will either be a yellow triangle that says "Android" or "Android" should be listed at the top and you would right-click on either one and "update driver software". If it doesn't find it automatically, then > Browse my computer for driver software > Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer > Android device > Android Composite ADB Interface.
I had the same problem, here how to fix it. Boot your phone into recovery mode, then click "install zip", then click "install zip from sideload", then use the command "adb sideload ROM.zip" (replace ROM with Rom name) and voila!

g3n3sii - Your method of "install zip from sideload" (post #20 in this thread) got me out of a dead-end with a Moto G phone. Nothing else had worked for me. Thanks - I know it's been over 1 year since you posted, but I hope you see this to know you helped someone out.
g3n3sii... Its been 2 years now, and you saved my phone with the sideload thingy. This time with a Razr I. Thanks a lot, I tried everything else, nothing worked. God bless the internet.
If you can get to CWR, mount /data, and then use adb to push the file to your sd card: adb push ROM.zip /data/media
