Zip

Answer:

NIL

Hint:

Think of a sports scoreboard where this three-letter term might appear to show no points were earned.

Explanation:

"Zip" here is a playful hint meaning "nothing" or "zero," since "zip" is slang for that. The answer "NIL" fits because it’s another word for zero, often used in sports scores or informal contexts. The clue relies on that casual meaning rather than the literal idea of a zipper or speed.
