I’ve got it working now (sort of).
It seems to function, but so far it’s unusably slow. Are there any better
alternatives for the Windows platform?

setup on Windows XP
Webdav in Windows
products is broken beyond any hope. Even in Windows XP Pro it doesn't work with
certain combinations of updates and patches. Also, MS Office products
understand webdav. Even they don't work in all installations as expected. Many
a times they start talking FPSE.

Also look at Microsoft KB articles. Search on MSDN for "webdav"
"web folders" etc.
Overall, its quite hopeless.
For your specific problems there are hacks available on the net. specifically a
module that sits before auth and (de)mangles the username.

This is a well known
"feature" of Windows XP Home and later editions.
Workaround: use a port number after the domain, or use a trailing /. or
a /# on any URL to use WebDAV properly in the setup wizard.
* e.g.: http://www.atarex.com:80
* e.g.: http://www.atarex.com/.
* e.g.: https://www.atarex.com/#
Explanation: the :port number on the domain name, the trailing slash dot
"/.", or slash pound "/#" at the end of the URL prevents
the bug which
interprets the resource as a SMB network drive.

You seem to be confusing auth_sspi (ntlm) auth with basic auth. Or
it's
an issue with your client - do you have another non-Microsoft dav client
to try? And see conf/extras/httpd-dav.conf for an example.
