I'm occasionally nothing,
but I roar nonetheless,
I come in two, and sometimes six,
And I am made of four.
I am found in 60, as well as 201,
but never ever am I found in 7.

I'm occasionally nothing, (Thanks @Riley)
0x20 is the Hex code for an ASCII Space (i.e. something) while 0x20 is 0 in mathematics (i.e. nothing).
but I roar nonetheless,
A reference to the roaring 20's
I come in two, and sometimes six,
20 is two characters. Twenty is 6 characters.
And I am made of four.
20 is evenly divisible by 4.
I am found in 60, as well as 201,
60 is evenly divisible by 20, and 20 makes up the first two numbers of 201
but never ever am I found in 7.
7 is not evenly divisible by 20, nor is 20 a part of the numeric representation of 7.
My best guess is
O / 0 / "Zero"
I'm occasionally nothing,
Used to denote the value 0
but I roar nonetheless,
The letter 'O' still makes a sound, as in the word "roar"
I come in two, and sometimes six,
"O" is in TWO, and is the bottom half of the digit version of
6
And I am made of four.
"ZERO" is four letters.
I am found in 60, as well as 201,
60 and 201 contain 0 as a digit.
but never ever am I found in 7.
Neither 7 nor SEVEN contain an O shape.
You are number
3
I'm occasionally nothing,
rotated by 180°, you get ε - used to denote infinitesimal numbers (e.g. in nonstandard analysis) or a very small number (in classical calculus)
but I roar nonetheless,
one, two, three, (go) is used sometimes to count before some loud action (such as music or a car race start)
I come in two, and sometimes six,
the glyph consists of two arcs, a prime factor of 6
And I am made of four.
drawn in four lines in 7-segment display style
I am found in 60, as well as 201,
a prime factor of both of these numbers
but never ever am I found in 7.
but not a prime factor of 7
