They are only called ZIP codes in the U.S. and Philippines, where it stands for Zone Improvement Plan. In most countries they are called postal codes or postcodes. In India, they are called pincodes (PIN = Postal Index Number).
About 140 countries utilize postal codes now. Most are numeric, so if a country has a 5 digit postal code, they can potentially have up to 99,999 different postal codes. Of course not all possible values are used, but that is the maximum.
In the U.S., there is a 5-digit ZIP Code followed by an optional ZIP+4 extension. Technically that means just shy of 1 billion postal codes are possible in the U.S.
About a dozen countries use letters mixed in with their postal codes. Canada, Venezuela and U.K. are examples. Most countries don't use many of the letters that could be easily confused with numbers, such as I, O, S and Q. Even so, this dramatically increases the number of postal codes that is mathematically possible in those countries.
