every 
db.table.column == parameter
is something that further reduces the resultset (it's a "filter" condition)
in case "parameter" is 0, just don't use that condition in the query ^_^

moreover, you can do

filter_condition = (db.table.created_by == auth.user_id)
if .....
    filter_condition = filter_condition & (db.table.field_a == something)
....
....

filtered_set = db(filter_condition).select()


PS: usually filters are more "manageable" with request.vars than 
request.args() ... it's a little unconfortable to remember the order of the 
filter and to specify 0 as the "ALL" parameter is counterintuitive .... 
eco/0/1/0/6/0/0 sounds a lot more ugly than eco?b=1&d=6
