Vette(s): 1975 C3 Red, T-Tops, Black Interior. All I need is time and money! Getting there!
The most common reason to snap a cam is a weak cam, or the cam bearings were not in properly. This can be to a bad cam line bore, or improper installed bearings. But it could be just a bad cam casting.
The cam can also snap due to extream stress such as a stuck valve, but this usually bends the pushrod instead.
Once it snapped the engine might be okay, depending on the twist transferred to the block.

Good Luck
On the "Tail of the Dragon"
(some day, no strike that, October 2008 it turned red, still in progress!)
