If you use "zpool detach" to remove the disk that went bad, the spare is
promoted to a proper member of the pool. Then, when you replace the bad disk,
you can use "zpool add" to add it into the pool as a new spare.
Admittedly, this is all a manual procedure. It's unclear if you were asking for
this to be fully automated.
