I fear the resource you discovered is wrong and old.
Today, you have VirtualHostmonster (the "virtual_hosting" - object
you have in your Zope-Root per default) to take care of
rewriting the addresses. You only change the Rewrites to
signal the hostname you want to zope. (Virtual-Host-Monster
has hints for the format in its management interface - you
dont need to configure anything there, just read the example)

I usually dont use ProxyPass but mod_rewrite directly:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/(.*) 
http://10.100.100.1:3128/VirtualHostBase/http/%{HTTP_HOST}:80/VirtualHostRoot/$1 
[P,L]


10.100.100.1:3128 is the host:port zope listens.
