No, they can't be less than zero, because they are computed by adding up the prices of certain stocks, then divided by a certain number. The stocks themselves can't go under 0, so they can't either.

Of course, the possibility of them reaching zero is very low, anyway. Check the my source to see what would have to happen for it go anywhere near that low.
