Check if a decimal number is effectively zero. Return true if the absolute value of the number is less than 0.001 (treating very small numbers as zero), false otherwise. Handle numbers with up to 4 decimal places.

Examples:

Input: num = 0.0009 Output: true Explanation: 0.0009 is less than 0.001 in absolute value, so it is considered effectively zero Input: num = -0.0015 Output: false Explanation: -0.0015 has an absolute value greater than 0.001, so it is not considered zero
