build it in to the view method of your class.
Something like this (untested, and assuming you use zlog for the records) ...

from zLOG import LOG
from AccessControl import getSecurityManager

class MyProduct(some_zopeish_base_class):
    ...
    index_html = None   # tell the publisher to use __call__ for the view
    def __call__(self, client=None, REQUEST=None, RESPONSE=None, **kw)
        user = getSecurityManager().getUser()
        LOG('User %s viewed %s' % (user, self.getId())
        ...
