I have a cck content type that has a custom field attached to it for capturing contact information. This is a simple text field for entering names, phone numbers, and email addresses as the case may be. I understand that SpamSpan can be configured to protect cck email fields, but I hesitate to break this single field into multiple fields (i.e. by into separate email, name, and phone number fields) just to obfuscate email addresses that may appear in the field.

Is there a recommended way to have SpamSpan protect cck text fields that could contain email addresses?

For now, I've switched the field from plain text to html, which brings the input filter configured for SpamSpan protection into play. This introduces a new input filter choice for this field (in addition to the input filter choice already there for the body of the node) but it does appear to work.

The best solution for CCK fields is to upgrade to Drupal 7 and use the Email Field module, https://www.drupal.org/project/email. The Email Field module has an option to select Spamspan to process the field. Email Field also has options for using forms, a better choice than Spamspan in many situations.
