This should be possible by a link i.e. into a NFS network share

i.e.:

stop zope instance

mkdir /myzopeinstance/share
mount -t nfs 1.2.3.4:/myshare/ /myzopeinstance/share
chmod 777 /myzopeinstance/share
#(or give your zope instance user write access to that dir)
mv /myzopeinstance/share/Data.fs.old /myzopeinstance/share/
ln -s /myzopeinstance/share/Data.fs /myzopeinstance/var/Data.fs.old

start zope instance

Alternatively you can put your whole /myzopeinstance/var onto a NFS share temporarily (could be to slowly for production) and move it back when shrinked.
