Zope is not Apache although it can be used in conjunction with it.

Zope is a web server designed such that it can dynamically construct all 
web pages it delivers.

If you want to understand it you would be well advised to download it from 
www.zope.org and try a test installation. That and/or looking at one of the 
books about Zope will give you a better understanding of what Zope is.
