Here are a couple of ideas,

f[x_] := If[x > 0, Exp[-x],
     If[x == 0, Print["Don't know what to do at zero"], 0]]


g[x_] := Switch[x,
     _Integer && x > 0, Exp[-x],
     _Integer && x == 0, Print["Don't know what to do at zero"],
     _Integer && x < 0, 0

     ]

You may also like to try out Condition and Which.

Cheers
Yas
