We report MuSR measurements on the S=1/2 (Cu2+) paratacamite Zn_xCu_{4-x}(OH)_6Cl_2 family. Despite a Weiss temperature of -300 K, the x=1 compound is found to have no transition to a magnetic frozen state down to 50 mK as theoretically expected for the kagome Heisenberg antiferromagnet. We find that the limit between a dynamical and a frozen inhomogeneous ground state occurs around x=0.5. For x=1, we discuss the relevance to a singlet picture.
