Bandos was a tier 3 god, and was still able to give dreams to goblins, revive Zanik, and form an tier 7 avatar on Gielinor all while not in Gielinor. Zaros wasn't the only one who was able to influence Gielinor with power. Over all he was affected, the World wake proved it, and the Q&A after that quest did also. If you believe he was trying to hide his presence, remember he was thought long dead, his followers and even his own sister. He was affected. The Edict acted as a barrier to prevent them from entering Gielinor. Zaros had a communication device/portal with Azzandra, that is a small loophole that allowed him to do whatever he did. But Zaros wasn't the only god that could influence gielinor behind the Edict. Bandos was one. Zamorak was another.
You're forgetting one thing: Bandos cheated.
For one, he could only be seen by and influence particularly sensitive goblins, such as Hopespear or Grubfoot. That's on the goblins, not Bandos, who was only scrying (that's why Andil can sense Zanik when she uses the scrying pool despite Zanik not being a god).
For two, he could only manifest his avatar on Gielinor by imbuing a pendent with a significant chunk of his power before having an entirely mortal goblin carry it across the Edicts barrier for him.
And as for Zamorak, he was stuck trying to claw his way through to Gielinor at the spot where the planar boundaries were weakest. And even then, we don't know if the whispers Bilrach and other denizens of Daemonheim heard were Zamorak or the Rift itself since the Schism on Teragard (which shares all sorts of traits with the Rift, seeming to be the same sort of thing if not the same thing, and also whispers to those near it).
Zaros was able to take what Bandos had (a method to communicate with someone) and directly affect Gielinor with his own power (not influence someone else to do it, or sneak some part of his power across first).
