You don't need to make the remaining pixels zero in order to measure the largest "segment".

Use regionprops to get the areas then get them all in an array so you can determine the largest.
measurements = regionprops(labeledImage, 'Area');
allAreas = [measurements.Area];
[sortedAreas sortIndexes] = sort(allAreas);
% Then mask your image or create a new one from the largest blob.

You can get the largest region. It's sortIndexes(1). Just extract the label for the largest image with ismember(). Then turn it into a binary image and use that to "mark all pixels as zero except largest region" in your original image.
biggestLabel = ismember(labeledImage, sortIndexes(1));
binaryImage = biggestLabel > 0;
% If you want the original image masked:
maskedImage = grayImage;
maskedImage(~binaryImage) = 0;
If this code doesn't work for you, let me know tomorrow and maybe I can adapt my blobs demo (in my File Exchange) to find the largest blob. But like I said in the comment, you don't need to zero anything out to get the measurements of the largest blob, so I don't know why you think you do, unless you just want to display it for curiosity's sake.

Muhammad, you can color your labels like this, instead of all that code you gave in your comment below:
labeledImage = bwlabel(binaryImage, 8); % Label each blob so we can make measurements of it
coloredLabels = label2rgb (labeledImage, 'hsv', 'k', 'shuffle'); % pseudo random color labels
imshow(coloredLabels);
