Well, not to be nitpicky, but to be pedandic ;)
If the score were truely 0, the rule would not be run at all.
The score is undefined for double underscore rules, it just
results in the 'defining' of a variable that can be tested in
meta rules. Thus there is no score to list in the reports, only
if a score assigned due to meta-rules that evaluate those
variables.
For testing purposes, prefix those rule names with a 'T' then
they will be assigned a small score (0.01) and show up in reports.
EG:
body T__MY_RULE1 /\bword1/
body T__MY_RULE2 /\bword2/
meta MY_RULE T__MY_RULE1 && T__MY_RULE2
describe MY_RULE found match on word1 && word2
score MY_RULE 1.5
Once you're happy with the way that they work, remove the 'T's
