If its vacant, then its not a shop, so shouldn't be tagged as such.
Otherwise it will show up on applications / renderers that show anything
tagged as shop=* with a shop icon.
Found this page on the wiki, which has a summary of some of the ideas
for tagging disused features etc:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Comparison_of_life_cycle_concepts
I think the best option is the one it describes as "<key>-<status> =
<value>".
ie use a separate namespace, so tag it something like disused:shop=yes
Then it can be easily ignored by applications that just want to show
currently existing shops, or rendered differently etc.
