datageographyshapefilezip-codes
I already have the information for US states and Counties. I have the information in the JSON files. I want the information for ALL US city and Zip Code information.
I can't really navigate the US consensus sites so if anyone has the information, I'd be really thankful.
Get a zip-code boundary layer and run Polygon Neighbors. Review How Polygon Neighbors Works and Up-To-Date Zip-Code Boundaries
Picture below might be different than your ArcMap looks, but the buttons and procedure should be the same.
Perhaps this is an open-source solution. I have not tested or used this solution which seems to require GRASS 6+ : from the GRASS users mailing list

Hi, i work with grass 5.7 having the attribute data in postgres-DB.
in a polygon-shapefile containing several hundred of polygons i want to analyze for each polygon which neighboring polygons it has. Conceptually i see there 2 cases: 1) neighboring polygons sharing a common boundary with the current polygon: these polygons should be selectable by identifying the identifiers of the border-lines of the current polygon and search over all border-lines of all polygons for those identifiers. here my question is: how to identify the identifiers of all border-lines of a polygon?

Read this https://mapzen.com/documentation/search/data-sources/ and this blog: https://mapzen.com/blog/who-s-on-first to learn about OpenStreetMap sources and the (few) additional sources.
Then look especially at the very recent Zetashapes: http://zetashapes.com/
Bottom-line is: OpenStreetMap will be the dataset you want, but it's neither complete nor easy to access at this time.

If Zip Code Tabulated Areas (http://www.census.gov/geo/reference/zctas.html, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZIP_Code_Tabulation_Area) will do, ftp://ftp2.census.gov/geo/tiger/TIGER2013/ZCTA5/tl_2013_us_zcta510.zip
These are not exactly US zip codes though, but are probably what you want.
