I wonder what his river shove of more than 2x pot means? Seeing as I've barrelled twice does he think I'm weak on the end by checking? I have seen a lot of shoves in all sorts of silly places in ZOOM (e.g. on the flop in a tiny pot etc.) so it could be that or an attempt to trap me if he's been hanging around with a 7 and believing I'm strong from my earlier play.

It's fairly disciplined to fold, he could have everything from better 2 pairs or 67 7x sets less likely

The only way to find out on the spot is to call. But I prefer to keep my eyes open and take notes while other players make hero calls. From a game theory perspective, I am certain that it is a fold (if you randomize bluff catching with your hole cards and call with the best hands).

With 4-to-a-straight on the board and possible sets.... Just fold. This is a strong move and we can safely fold.

I agree that the fold is ok.
