You don't say what your Zope application does. It might be enough to 
put a cache in front of Zope and use built-in tools (HTTP accellerated 
cache  manager, Cache Policy Manager in CMF) to make sure the right 
headers are set.

The ESI statements can be put into any page template in Zope, there is 
no need for Zope to specifically support it. ESI support needs to be 
built into the cache, and Squid 3 (still in beta) has it.
