Hello

The following should do what you want:

Clear[valueList, calc,val];
valueList = {0.0032833, -0.000654511, -0.0065494,
   0.00103598, -0.00112899, 0.00386173,
       0.00365922, 0.00551557, -0.0138527, 0.00471387,
   0.00497326, -0.00140056, -0.00187003,
       -0.0195785, -0.00210204, -0.00900038, 0.000289855,
   0.000289771, -0.00135187,
       0.00386772};

calc[val_] := If[Abs[val] > 0.002, 0, val];
FoldList[calc[#1 + #2] & , calc[First[valueList]], Rest[valueList]]
