I'm wondering if there's a better layout strategy than this. I.e.,
keep the .pre files in a specific location

/opt/zimbra/data/spamassassin (our generalized data location for app
specific data).
Any opinions on that?
Definite opinions.
You need to have one dir that is designed for rules/config files you
create, modify and override. On my system this is: /etc/mail/spamassassin.
Then you have your default rules location for sa-update which is
/var/lib/spamassassin/<version> dir by default. You really shouldn't
interact with the files in this dir so if you are intermingling them, it
could be very confusing to administer the system.
It sounds a bit like what you inherited predates the concept of
sa-update but I off the cuff, even something like setting LOCALSTATEDIR
to /opt/zimbra/conf/spamassassin/var/lib and DEFRULESDIR to
/opt/zimbra/conf might be better.
That should give you a couple of pre files and a local.cf in
/opt/zimbra/conf/spamassassin and then allow sa-update to run more cleanly.
