Look at your ZClass in the management view. Look under the "basic" tab.

You should find the field "class id". Its value will be a string such as
"2nBsaF/GgaN176QFvINZIw==".

This value links instances of the ZClass to the ZClass definition. It
could be that you didn't alter this property in your new ZClass.

Would that alone work? I don't know -- never tried it!

Take a look at http://www.zope.org/Members/AlexR/ChangingBaseClasses for
the recommended unofficial way to do it.
