Close Oleg but I think this is the way it needs to be.

<input type=checkbox name="cb:list" value=2>option 2
<input type=checkbox name="cb:list" value=3>option 3
<input type=checkbox name="cb:list" value=4>option 4

The ":list" after the name tells Zope to pass the values as a list.
Otherwise you would need to give each it's own name.
