I just checked with the FAA's Teterboro office about this one.
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.
