Here's my guess (untested)... this assumes you can get to FolderB directly
(via acquisition or because FolderB is in FolderA)

<dtml-with FolderB>
<dtml-with "manage_addProduct['YourProduct']">
<dtml-call "ZClass_add(_.None, _, NoRedir=1)">
</dtml-with>
</dtml-with>

If your ZClass is CatalogAware, this won't work quite right, because the
path to the instance that is stored in the catalog will be something like:

/FolderA/FolderB/instance

instead of /FolderB/instance
