It is argued that the charged $Z^+_c(3885)$ resonance, treated as a `molecular' state of charmed $D$ and $D^*$ mesons, is likely to consist of two peaks unequally coupled to the $D^{*+} \bar D^0$ and $D^+ \bar D^{*0}$ channels. The peaks should be split in mass by at least approximately 1.5 MeV. This behavior arises from an enhancement of the effect of isospin violation in the masses of the $D$ and $D^*$ mesons due to apparent suppression of forces between the mesons depending on the spins of the heavy as well as of the light quarks. The suggested double-peak structure can be studied either by direct shape measurement in the channels with heavy mesons, or by isospin-violating transitions from $Z_c^\pm(3885)$ to the states of charmonium plus a light meson.
