Take a look at bbdb-legal-zip-codes.  I'm not sure what regexp you are
missing, but the "correct" thing to do is to add it to the list.  Such
as 

(add-to-list bbdb-legal-zip-codes "[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9]")

Or to disable zip code checking by setting bbdb-check-zip-codes-p to
nil.

Anyway, if you think that your zip code format make sense for other
people, mail it to the list and ask somebody with write permission to
add it.  :)

Just add the empty string to the list:

(add-to-list bbdb-legal-zip-codes "")

Actually, this was suggested on the list before, maybe somebody with
write access can make sure the empty string is part of
bbdb-legal-zip-codes in CVS?
