1. Yes it is possible.my zip code is also used in two other countries.
2. I know that zip codes in the US are 5 numbers. Any other country that also uses 5 numerical digits could duplicate zip codes.
3. Israel Israeli post codes (Hebrew: מיקוד‎ – Mikud) are numeric and consist of five digits. They are assigned from north to south, thus, Metula in the north has 10292 as its postal code, and Eilat in the south was assigned 88xxx. The capital city of Jerusalem postal codes start with the digit 9, though this doesn't correspond with its geographical location. Each postal code corresponds to a mail carrier route or RR, thus, when the letters are sorted by the postal code, they are assigned to a specific carrier. Army unit postal codes start with a 0 and are not changed even if a unit is roaming. The postal code is written on the right hand side of the location's name, regardless of which language the address is written in. Thus, Location 00000 both in English (location precedes the postal code) as well as in Hebrew (where it follows it). Wikipedia
