Hello,

 

Typically people do this by doing math between the lattitude and longitude.  When you do distance between zips typically people use the center lat/lon as the location do to the distance.  Given the great tools on the web you may want to use actual addresses vs. just zips.  To get distance between two lats/lons is just math.   Below are two links .. One with code and one with the math!  Good luck!
