Any cool zoot suit wouldn't make it to the Salvation Army. Something like that would have been scooped by a "hipster" second hand store so try the good second hand stores and maybe you'll get lucky.
That is kind of unlikely though.
Try costume shops or even tux rental places but be prepared to pay through the nose. I wanted to rent a zoot suit as part of a costume more than 10 years ago and it was $99 plus shoes and all that other crap.
Or depending on your size maybe you could go buy the biggest, ugliest suit jacket you can find and get it altered then just wing it with the pants and a cheap fedora. Try to find some old two-tone golf shoes, take out the spikes and you are homefree.
Or if that is too much work play dumb and say you thought it was a "swingers" theme and dress up like a 70's wifeswapper. Start growing that moustache today!
EDIT: apparently Mr. Hrdina is a better bargain hunter than me
