Look at your logs for any errors. When running Zope on port 80 you must

 - start zope as root user
 - setup the uid properly in zope.conf (there is a dedicated directive for
   that)

The recommended solution would be to run Zope as unprivileged user on port 
8080 (or whatever) and use Apache running on port 80 as reverse proxy
using virtual hosting (which is described e.g. in the Zope Book).
