As the subject says... I need to block any low res lot larger then 1x1... and I use CAM. Any tips on how to accomplish this?

You can zone single tiles. If you want them in rows I fear you have to zone every second tile, wait until grows what you want, make these historical and then zone the empty tiles in between...
You could also try to work with low density and mid density zones that alternate. I know it works with med and high density, but I don't know if the lots you want grow on which zone type.
Alternating desity mid and high is used quite often. I remember that I once tried with low and mid and that this did not work. But I am not sure.

See.. the problem is even if I zone 1x1.. sometimes those larger lots will still pop up. And my latest section of suburb building, those larger lots are like a zomebie invasion, its the only thing that'll grow.

Do you know in which .dat file the lot config exemplars are located?

If so, you could try to modify the growth stages of the lots you want to block...

Find and note the lot exemplars IDs with the LE, then edit the lot growth stage and set the value to anything higher than 15 in hexadecimal so the growth stage cannot be reached by the lot (this is how the BSC no Maxis mod works).

Since I don't have CAM I have no idea if this would work, but in theory it should...
