I think this should work, actually.

ZODB is just like other databases in that each application
is going to make its own database.  That is, there is a
different top-level object. At least I think this is true.

If they don't have to interact with each other, this may be
safest.  I don't think you really want to make calls from
one into the other, though, if they are different Python
installations (I suppose it should be possible, but I'd be a
 little afraid of problems cropping up).

The first option, if it works, would require that the ZODB
used by your application is the same as what Zope uses,
of course.
