If you use GNU/Linux Debian, simply put that (executable) script in 
/etc/cron.monhtly :

#! /bin/bash

echo "Rotating zope server logfile"
cd /var/lib/zope/var/
savelog -g root -m 640 -u root -c 7 /var/lib/zope/var/Z2.log > /dev/null
savelog -g root -m 640 -u root -c 7 /var/lib/zope/var/application.log > 
/dev/null
/etc/init.d/zope restart

The 'savelog' script is in debianutils package (a little bash script)

If not, why don't you use debian ? :)
