See the examples for %c/%C under the Advanced features section of the  -w (-TextOut) option (https://exiftool.org/exiftool_pod.html#w-EXT-or-FMT--textOut).  Examples E and F under the %c section show the format for 4 digits.  You would use this with the Filename and Directory tags (https://exiftool.org/filename.html) instead of the -w option.

For renaming using a tag instead of a copy number, you could use the example in this thread (https://exiftool.org/forum/index.php?topic=8326.0).
