Sometimes testing for zero makes sense.  When you write code, you are
telling a story.  If you are talking about zero as a number then it
can make sense.  If it's zero as a boolean then it doesn't make sense.

Also strcmp() and similar should always be done as == 0, < 0 or != 0
because that is the idiom:

	if name != "foo" then

becomes:

	if (strcmpt(name, "foo") != 0) {

The != from the first is shifted in the second.

So I don't really think this approach is the right thing.  You have to
read the code and understand the story it is telling.  Then change it
if needed.
