COMMENTS
Conjecture: a(n) > 0 for all n, except n = 10 where A014574(n) = 108. The conjecture is true for A014574(n) < 1000000.
EXAMPLE
a(1) = 1, because the first average of a twin prime pair is 4 and 4*3 = 12 is also an average of a twin prime pair.
a(2) = 2, because 6*3 = 18 and 6*5 = 30.
a(3) = 1, because 12*5 = 60.
a(4) = 1, because 18*11 = 198.
a(5) = 2, because 30*5 = 150 and 30*19 = 570.
a(10) = 0, because there are no twin primes p less than 108 such that 108*p is an average of a twin prime pair.
