The semanage command should also use httpd_sys_content_t, and you should
run restorecon -R /home/zopeuser/data after the semanage command rather
than using chcon.  semanage adds the entry to the system's
file_contexts.local mapping, and restorecon then consults the system's
file contexts files to determine the right context to apply.

Do you really want to allow apache to fully access the user's home
directory?  If you just want to allow search access so that it can
traverse the user home directory to reach the data subdirectory, there
should be a boolean (httpd_enable_homedirs) that you can enable.
