How about something along the lines of:

execute_no_history() {
  setopt hist_ignore_space
  zle .accept-line
}
zshaddhistory() {
  [[ -o hist_ignore_space ]] && return 2
}
precmd() {
  unsetopt hist_ignore_space
}

You can use a global variable instead of any otherwise-unused setopt
if you prefer.
