I'm off list and seeing this in the archive, but wanted to jump in and
report that I successfully debug Zope2 and Plone through eric3. Can't
sepak to Zope3 but I suspect it would be the same. I don't execute the
runzope sript but instead replicate its behavior in eric3 - by setting the
main script to "/ZOPE_HOME/lib/python/Zope2/Startup/run.py" and passing
"-C /INSTANCE_HOME/etc/zope.conf" on the command line. I also need to
insert a hard breakpoint somewhere in the code -
import sys
sys.breakpoint()

Once this breakpoint is hit I can set breakpoints in eric3 where I wish
and the debugger stops at them.
