The following works, but is hackish..

 >>> root
<zope.app.folder.folder.Folder object at 0x4120c36c>

 >>> from zope.app import zapi
 >>> from zope.publisher.browser import TestRequest

 >>> icon = zapi.queryView(root, 'zmi_icon', TestRequest())
 >>> icon
<zope.app.publisher.browser.icon.IconView object at 0x4117ea2c>

 >>> icon()
u'<img

alt="Folder" width="16" height="16" border="0" />'
