The Eastern Kingdom is split into the three continents of Lordaeron (upper), Khaz Modan (middle) and Azeroth (lower), sometimes known as Azeroth Kingdom.
I think the manual even says that Azeroth is used both for the lower part of the EK and for the entire world, too. Whether this is running out of names or a bit of a continuity accident is anybody's guess.

However, the name Azeroth is rarely applied in the context of the human kingdom in WoW. The land is Azeroth, for sake of continuity from the earlier games, but the kingdom is Stormwind and regions are always talked about by their proper names (as they've essentially become small states unto themselves), never as a whole "Azeroth".
Azeroth = world in WoW and WC3
Azeroth = the Kingdom of Azeroth in WC1 and 2
By the way, does anyone know if the old WC1 and 2 campaigns were ever redone with the WC3 engine? I'd like to play through them again, but god the interfaces are horrible.
