I think going the custom model method way is the way I'd go. You could
probably cut the call to findByZip down to one by checking if $zip has
a space in it. If it does, then change $zip to the first 3 characters,
otherwise leave $zip as-is. Then call $this->findByZip.

You could also implement a beforeFind callback that essentially
contains the same code (e.g. changing the query conditions based on if
there's a space or whatnot and modifying the conditions appropriately)
and then returns true to allow the query to happen.
