The input format is documented in the zic(8) man page. Here's the relevant part: Input lines are made up of fields. Fields are separated from one another by any number of white space characters.
Actually, "one or more" seems to be meant rather than "any number" (which would include zero).
It would also include negative numbers, and nonintegers, and complex numbers. The fact that they're _separated_ implies there is at least one character, because if not then there is no separation.
