Thanks for asking the question.
The average velocity of a body can be zero when the displacement of the body is zero because according to formula:
Velocity = displacement/time
Keep in mind displacement is a vector( it involves direction too) whereas distance is a scalar. For example if we move in a circle, we cover some distance however the displacement is zero.
Hope it helps.
