 Is there any easy way to force a level 0 backup of every disk in the
 disklist?

amadmin config force hostname
repeat for each hostname

you of course need to use "amadmin CONFIG force hostname [disk]".
now, since at least "hostname" is a required arg to amadmin force,
i use some shell script stuff to help out here.  this apporoximates
what i do:

8-
#!/bin/sh

  awk '{print $1}' /path/to/CONFIG/disklist | \
sed -e 's/^#.*//' | sort | uniq \
 /path/to/CONFIG/Forcelist

  for host in `cat /path/to/CONFIG/Forcelist` ; do
#echo "EXEC: amadmin CONFIG force $host"
amadmin CONFIG force $host
  done

8-

i would suggest that you read that carefully and make sure you 
understand what each cmd in the pipes is doing, and in the for-loop
you should comment-out the amadmin cmd and uncomment the echo cmd
until you are sure it will be doing what you want it to  ;*)

 Is there any easy way to force a level 0 backup of every disk in the
 disklist?

man amadmin

force hostname [ disks ]
  Force the disks on hostname to do a full level 0 backup
  during the next Amanda run.

EXAMPLES
 Request three specific file systems on machine-a get a  full
 level 0 backup during the next Amanda run.

 Note the use of "^/$" to get the root file system.   Without
 the extra regular expression characters, just "/" would have
 matched all the file systems on machine-a.

  $ amadmin config force machine-a "^/$" /var /usr
  amadmin: machine-a:/ is set to a forced level 0 tonight.
  amadmin: machine-a:/var is set to a forced level 0 tonight.
  amadmin: machine-a:/usr is set to a forced level 0 tonight.
