Yes, when I do that (as root), zope starts with the following messages:
=================================================================
[root@box init.d]# ./zope start

The script I use for starting Zope is as follows:
=======================================================================
#!/bin/sh
# Startup script for Zope
#
# description: Run zope (web management) server

# Source function library.
. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions

prog="Zope"

start() {
    echo -n $"Starting $prog: "
    /usr/local/zope/2.6.0/start -u nobody &
    RETVAL=$?
    return $RETVAL
}

stop() {
    /usr/local/zope/2.6.0/stop
    return 0
}

case "$1" in
        start)
            start
            ;;

        stop)
            stop
            ;;

        status)
            status $prog
            ;;
        restart)
            stop
            start
            ;;
        condrestart)
            ;;

        *)
            echo $"Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart|status}"
            exit 1

esac

exit 0
=======================================================================

In /etc/rc3.d, the link to the zope script is currently "S96zope"
