Albino, here's an RPG III solution.  It sets on indicator 10 if it's valid.

C                     MOVE NUM       CHAR    9
 * Assume it's bad
C                     SETOF                         10
C           '0'       SCAN CHAR      POS     50
C                     SELEC
 * No zeros at all: ok
C           POS       WHEQ 0
C                     SETON                         10
C           POS       WHGT 3
 * Make sure there's at least one non-zero after position 3
C           '0'       CHECKCHAR:4    POS            10
C                     ENDSL

The RPG III
Constraints make a nice puzzle.
Like 8/6 sonnets.
