On reading, the only way to do it is to use modprobe to remove and reload the driver module for the network device. If the module has been compiled as part of the kernel the only way to do it is to reboot.
To find out which module has been loaded for (for eg) eth0:
ethtool -i eth0
To remove and re-insert the driver module:
modprobe -r module_name
modprobe module_name
ifup eth0
Information was from this page:

You would probably need to use sudo for the modprobe and ifup commands.

By the way, the data file you want is /proc/net/dev but you can't edit, delete, or move that file. You can however get the data out of it or copy it. With a bit of ingenuity you should be able to write a script that calculates the difference in the data in that file, therefore negating the necessity to reset the counters completely. ;-)
