Your "new" RewriteRule is wrong, it does not have the proper stuff in it
to access the VHM.

How could this ever work 'out of the box', please? It involves not only
your individual setup, but also two distinct pieces of software, namely
Zope and Apache. So until Zope gets mind reading code and full access to
your apache config file (wherever that may live), no such luck.

You might try the "RewriteRule witch" (a rewriterule generator) though, 
just to be sure that your RewriteRule contains no typos or mistakes:

The day before yesterday there was someone with a very similar problem
on #zope. His rule looked right but he got 403s always. After many tries
it turns out some other part of the httpd.conf file was b0rken... duh.
