OK, let's go back to having two senses. "with neg. verb" should be a note.

I think the "nothing (with neg. verb)" usage should be mentioned. It makes up over 2/3 of the usage of 何事も in the Tanaka sentences, for example. Cases like 何事もなく are immediately obvious, but in sentences like 何事も彼女が彼と結婚することを妨げる事はできない the verb is a long way down the text.
I realise the JEs don't split senses in these cases, but I have no problem with it being a sense. Either way it should be there somewhere.

I don't think a "nothing" sense is necessary. 何事もなく means "without anything (happening)".

Not a noun, and I don't see it as an adverb either. "exp" is safest.
