In your data, you could calculate the state name in a new column, and
use the calculated name in the map. For example, if state names are in
column D, and values are in column E:

   =IF(E2=0,"",D2)

The state name will appear blank if the value is zero.

Create the map using the value, and the calculated state name. When
prompted, choose to Disregard All.

The missing states will use the default fill colour, or you can select a
custom colour.
