How's this?
list = {1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0};
subSeqs = Split[list, #1 == 0 &]
{{1}, {0, 0, 1}, {0, 0, 1}, {1}, {0, 1}, {0, 0, 0, 0, 1}, {0}}
subSeqs /. {0 ..} :> Sequence[]
{{1}, {0, 0, 1}, {0, 0, 1}, {1}, {0, 1}, {0, 0, 0, 0, 1}}
For a list of just zeroes, that goes like
list = {0, 0, 0};
subSeqs = Split[list, #1 == 0 &]
{{0, 0, 0}}
subSeqs /. {0 ..} :> Sequence[]
{}
And if it's all ones:
list = {1, 1, 1};
subSeqs = Split[list, #1 == 0 &]
{{1}, {1}, {1}}
subSeqs /. {0 ..} :> Sequence[]
{{1}, {1}, {1}}
