Alain, thanks for the reply and links to your book.  I am going to try the glmmADMB option first.  Then if that doesn't work, I will look at the Markov Chain Monte Carlo / BUGS option. - JM

John,
You can easily do this with R2WinBUGS and then in WinBUGS. See Chapter 4 of our 2012 book in which we analyse 2-way nested data; R code is include. Extension to your 3-way nested data would be an extra loop, plus an extra nesting level of the RE. It is also explained how you can calculate an intraclass correlation for each level.

The choice between ZIP and hurdle depends on your underlying question.
