If you follow the Linux Standard Base, I think you would end up with 
something like:

   - SOFTWARE_HOME:   /usr/share/Zope-2.7.3

     o We user /usr/share because Python modules don't go in the same
       locatin as "true" binaries under the LSB

   - INSTANCE_HOME:  /var/db/zope

   - Command-line scripts should be installed / symlinked into /usr/bin

   - zopectl / zeoctl should be linked into /etc/init.d

In practice, I have packaged things such that all the software went 
under /opt/zc, and all the instances under /var/zc.
