No Zope can run just fine as any user. You just install Zope and make it 
run on port 8080 or another free port.

Then you get the root to set up proxy for your Zope through Apache. You 
then install VirtualHostMonster on Zope and you are good to go.

Well there are a few steps involved but it's not impossible. The point 
is that it must run on a port that non-root users can use, and then get 
proxied from Apache.

If you don't need Zope to run on port 80 through Apache, you can just 
install Zope an make it run directly on port 8080. No further setup 
nessecary. This will most likely give you problems with firewalls though.
