The basic purpose of ZCatalog is surely not to index fancy datastructures 
but
the attributes of content objects in the ZODB. Best you get the Zope Book 
2.7 edition
and read how ZCatalog works and what kind of indexes it provides to figure 
out
if they match your usecase. Otherwise write your own index or try something 
else :-)
For complex queries look at AdvancedQuery.
