So, can anyone suggest what I should do with packets that have a

Junk them -- they have no real business on your network, as 0.0.0.0
isn't a valid assigned address on the live Internet.

Except at least when you use DHCP on your network. DHCP clients use 0.0.0.0 as a source address when issuing DHCP requests until they get a regular address from the server.
