What data is expected?
A database of postcodes/zipcodes and the corresponding geospatial locations in terms of a latitude and a longitude (or similar co-ordinates in an openly published national co-ordinate system). A database which gives a location in terms of the name of a town or a street without lat/long co-ordinates is not considered acceptable unless the name of the town or street can be further converted to a latitude and longitude by means of other open data (eg an open gazetteer with latitude and longitude attributes).

Details
There is some ZIP-code information available but it does not fit the Index criteria.
Latvia Post has a ZIP-code index page ("Pasta indeksu grāmata") containing a number of XLS files in unstructured / semi-structured form. It shows the relation between locations (towns, streets, etc.) and relevant ZIP-codes but does not contain lat/long coordinates nor is there another service where one could resolve ZIP-codes to geo-coordinates.
Note: the URL of the ZIP-code index page had changed since we last checked it in July 2014.
