I have a 04cd:08d9 over here and it works fine.

2.6.27-rc3 is a bit old. Try the latest v4l-dvb hg tree (all gspca changes 
there are scheduled to become part of 2.6.27 final):

hg clone http://linuxtv.org/hg/~jfrancois/gspca/
cd gspca
make menuconfig
make
sudo make install

The remove *all* video related modules (so including videodev !!)
and do:
modprobe gspca_zc3xx

Then it should work (works for me) also notice that the new gspca no longer 
does JPEG decompression in kernel space, so either you need to use a program 
which understands cams which do JPEG, or use libv4l:
http://people.atrpms.net/~hdegoede/libv4l-0.4.1.tar.gz

Instructions are in the docs, libv4l is currently being packaged for Debian.
