Actually, superconductors are not almost zero ohms, they are zero ohms. The nature of quantum mechanics allows for zero ohms. It is not a mathematical abstraction. There is another class of conductors that are not superconducting, but are considered ultra low resistance, that is very useful.
Superconductors do exist, this is why the high temperature variations using liquid nitrogen was a big deal. The holy grail is a room temperature variety, maybe it can exist, maybe it can't, there are about three models to explain this behavior, and the book is still very open on it. The limiting factor of superconductors is magnetic fields, exceed a certain number of Tesla and it stops being a superconductor, abruptly.
In the realm of quantum mechanics there are several other oddities that would be great if we could make them at normal temperatures. Things like super thermal conductivity and superfluidity (zero viscosity), but they require temperatures near absolute zero.
Current without voltage is an unstable condition in both antennas and LC circuits, tapping their energy off another source such as magnetic fields. Unless you have a superconductor it still doesn't occur, as I mentioned earlier.
Another point, as with the superconducting coil, the antenna and LC circuit still need voltage to excite them, they don't just start arbitrarily. So again, this condition can not exist without voltage being used in the beginning of the cycle. It can not exist by itself.
