Maxap groups with zero-dimensional group compactifications

Suppose $G$ is a countable group. We say that $G$ is maxap if there is an injective homomorphism $phi: Gto K$ with $K$ a compact group. My question is what we can demand of $K$. Given $G$ a maxap group, can we demand that $K$ be zero-dimensional? Certainly this is true when $G$ is residually finite but in general it seems tricky.

          Precisely, this is possible iff $G$ is residually finite (because 0-dimensional compact groups are profinite, hence residually finite).



          So $mathbfQ$ is an example of maximally almost periodic with no injective homomorphism into such a $K$.



          (For finitely generated groups however, maxap $Leftrightarrow$ residually finite.)
