I am also having the same problem.
I have changed the format to specialzip code when I merge, I do
not get the initial "0" in my zip code.
I change the format to text, and when I merge I only get the "0"
without the remaining digits in the zip code.
I entered the questioning zip codes with a ' prior to the 0 and
when I merge only the "0" without the remaining digits in the zip
code show up.

Help?

I am merging addresses from Excel to Work and I lose zip code
formatting during the merge so that for all zip codes that begin
with a zreo, the zero is dropped. I have never had this problem
before, how can I fix this? Thanks!
