They had taken part in a day trip to White Island during a cruise.
Ms Dallow's employers, energy company Santos, said in a post to Facebook she is a “very well respected engineer, and a good friend to many throughout the business".
Before news of her fate, the family said in a statement there had been no word from the trio since the eruption.
"We feel for all the families who are going through the same frustration and fear for loved ones as we are," it said.
"Our thoughts also go out to the emergency workers who have done so much for the injured and ask that their safety is paramount."
Earlier, Mr Dallow's father Brian told the ABC his relatives "might be in hospital".
"We're not sure. We don't really know anything," he said.
A statement released by Zoe's school, St Aloysius College, also confirmed the family was unaccounted for.
"Information is scant at this time but SAC is now seeking to provide preliminary advice to the school community," the school said.
The three were on a tour of White Island with 21 other Australians when the active volcano erupted, spewing smoke, ash and debris thousands of metres into the air.

"All we know is that they went on a cruise on White Island, there was an explosion and they're missing," Mr Langford's brother told Seven News.
The sister of a missing Brisbane woman and her adult daughter has also told the ABC of her rising concern.
Barbara Whitehead has told the broadcaster she's checked with seven New Zealand hospitals trying to find her sister Julie Richards, 47, and niece Jessica Richards, 20.
But there's been no word about the pair, despite other checks with New Zealand police, foreign affairs officials, and the pair's cruise company.
They'd been booked on a tour of the island from the Ovation of the Seas cruise ship, with the mother and her vet student daughter due to return home next weekend.
