That was the first place I looked actually.

I wonder if there is a reason that it ends up in site-packages instead 
of in its own seperate directory?

It certainly make upgrading to newer versions of Z3 more difficult. The 
main reason for Zope 2.7 was to make it easier to seperate different 
versions of Zope, Python, product collections (like cmf) etc.

As far as I can see, the new install procedure is a regression in that 
regard.
