The Fibonacci numbers from F(3) to F(20) are:

3 2
4 3
5 5
6 8
7 13
8 21
9 34
10 55
11 89
12 144
13 233
14 377
15 610
16 987
17 1597
18 2584
19 4181
20 6765

This is far enough that we have 4-digit numbers. From there on, it seems to be the case that the last 4 digits repeat in a cycle of 15,000. Actually the cycle of 15,000 starts from the very beginning, as F(15001) ends in 0001 and F(15002) also ends in 0001.

There are actually two Fibonacci's that end in 0000 within each cycle of 15,000. F(7500) ends in 0000 and F(15000) ends in 0000. So there are 13,333 Fibonacci numbers ending in four zeros within the first 10^8+1 Fibonacci numbers.

In the repeating cycle of 15,000, of the 10,000 possible sets of last four digits, 

3125 occur 0 times (i.e., not at all) 
2500 occur once 
1250 occur twice (including the requested 0000)
2500 occur 3 times 
625 occur 4 times.

F(7500) from UBASIC is

F(15,000) was too big for UBASIC, but from Mintoris Basic it's:
