[Jose E. Roman]

To compute more than one eigenpair, call EPSSetDimensions(eps,nev,PETSC_DEFAULT,PETSC_DEFAULT).

To compute zero eigenvalues you may want to use an absolute convergence criterion, with EPSSetConvergenceTest(eps,EPS_CONV_ABS), but then a tolerance of 1e-12 is probably too small. You can try without this, anyway.
