Before I learned Czech, I pronounced it like most English-speakers: da-vor (rhymes with door) zhak (rhymes with shack). Now that I speak pretty decent Czech and can throw down a respectable 'ř'(which is one my great life accomplishments :), I feel that the English pronunciation is absolutely fine, and it requires no change. You write can write Čapek in any way you want. But, personally, I'm proud that it's spelled that way. People know his great works, they (across all languages) commonly use a word he coined, and they literally make people learn a tiny bit more about the Czech language when they say, "Ah! So in Czech the Č is a CH!"
