If the proxy rules are all working fine to start with, then there

This is saying that it is trying to proxy your request, but the backend
server is not responding (ie. the zope server is not responding).

This further strengthens the case that this problem is not related to
the ProxyPass at all, rather to do with what you are doing to your zope
server.

It works.
You do some things.
It stops working.
You reset the server.
It works.

Throughout all of that, ProxyPass is proxying your requests, so that is
not your problem.

Cheers,
Stephen
