A Special VFR clearance is NOT required to operate in a control zone -- it is required to operate in an airport traffic area. Thus if you stay 3000 feet or more above the field and the weather is VFR where you are, you're legal even if the airport is IFR. Of course if the airport is VFR then the control zone doesn't exist and the issue is moot.
