You only need *one* VHM in the Zope root but not multiple VHM instances.

The documentation - at least the one in the Zope Book - is fine.
At least check if mod_proxy is installed and enabled. The *example* 
configuration above looks fine and it supposed to work - in fact it is work 
in lots of installations. Triple check your setup and enable logging for 
mod_rewrite...look at your Apache logs and look at the Zope logs and 
compare, lock at thre rewrite debug logs....that's the way to go...
