fun = @(x) 80*exp(-((x-pi)/0.002).^2);
I = quad(fun,0,6)
I2= integral(fun,0,6)
I =
0
I2 =
1.464129900321425e-69
Why do I get 0 when using quad?

The two use different adaptive techniques. The function has a sharp peak at Pi and one technique misses it completely and the other barely catches it. The actual integral over that range is (2/25*(erf(500*Pi)+erf(3000-500*Pi)))*sqrt(Pi) which is about 0.284
To get a better answer:
integral(fun,0,6,'Waypoints', pi)

And how should you go about to solve it with Quad?

I wouldn't solve it with quad(). I might solve it with quadgk
quadgk(fun,0,6, 'waypoints', pi)

You are trying to calculate the area under the curve as shown in the attached image. See the values on the axes, so I think getting zero is legitimate.
