As I said below, you can download a free database from the US Census
Bureau. Specifically, the data here:
http://www.census.gov/tiger/tms/gazetteer/zcta5.txt
contains ZIP codes and lat/lon information. I've not used that data,
but I've used this file from 1999 with good results:
http://www.census.gov/geo/www/tiger/zip1999.html
Apparently that will no longer be updated, though, so the ZCTA data is
probably better.
