I'd think the latter, though he doesn't seem to have any desire to leave- we don't know where he's staying yet (with the bugs?) , but I'd assume it's somewhere nearby since he goes to hang out at Buffy's party in the first issue and tends to be wandering the city at night. So it looks like San Francisco is his home, now, too, and it'd be a big deal if he left (like it was when Willow did this past issue).
From the solicitation to #7: Still seeking normalcy in the midst of zompire-stricken San Francisco, Buffy contemplates a life-changing decision the likes of which few Slayers have ever faced. Meanwhile Spike rushes to the aid of Detective Dowling, who’s in over his head with his recent investigation into the undead bloodsuckers plaguing the city.
(The cover to that comic also features Dowling and Spike facing a horde of demons, with Buffy standing in the background.)
