No, sorry.
You assumption is correct.
You need to change the default indexing setup to index your 880 that are 
probably like:
880 10$6245-01/(3/r$a[Arabic chars]

I suggest you to open a bug here:
http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/
with description of the problem and 10-20 records from your catalogue to 
do test.

Do you want to try to fix your self ?
Well, you need to understand how indexing works with Zebra.

Start on chapter 13 of the manual:
http://translate.koha-community.org/manual/3.20/en/searching.html

Read the basic on Zebra documentation:
http://www.indexdata.com/zebra/doc/record-model-domxml.html
(Tip: configuration language of the files is XSLT, so you need to learn 
a basic of it).

The 3 basic files are:
etc/zebradb/marc_defs/marc21/biblios/biblio-koha-indexdefs.xml
etc/zebradb/xsl/koha-indexdefs-to-zebra.xsl
etc/zebradb/marc_defs/marc21/biblios/biblio-zebra-indexdefs.xsl

The real working file is biblio-zebra-indexdefs.xsl
In its head you can read:
<!--
This file has been automatically generated from a Koha index definition 
file with the stylesheet koha-indexdefs-to-zebra.xsl. Do not manually 
edit this file,as it may be overwritten. To regenerate, edit the 
appropriate Koha index definition file (probably something like 
{biblio,authority}-koha-indexdefs.xml) and run: `xsltproc 
koha-indexdefs-to-zebra.xsl {biblio,authority}-koha-indexdefs.xml > 
{biblio,authority}-zebra-indexdefs.xsl` (substituting the appropriate 
file names).
-->

You probaly need to backport this fix from master to 3.20:
http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=14217

and insert many condition in biblio-koha-indexdefs.xml about 880 with 
specific values in $6

Not an easy work.
