Note some evidence that not all countries have a postal code or zip code. See this quote "Zimbabwe has never introduced a postal code system, so all you will need will be the street address in cities and large towns, or the PO Box number or Private Bag number." This must be a known solved issue. It may be then, that this field cannot be required.
