Ozgur,

The Hansen J stat is zero because the equation is exactly identified, as it states in the output.  You can get an explanation of this in any econometrics textbook.

The interpretation of the underidentification test is briefly discussed in the ivreg2 help file.  If you want more details, have a look at the references in the help file, starting with Baum et al. 2007.  In practice, though, people rarely comment on the underidentification stat, particularly when there is evidence that identification is not weak.
