Thanks to Kir, Dev and the entire OpenVZ team for this wonderful software and the fantastic support.
Here is how I managed to run Zimbra on OpenVZ on CentOS.
In a compendium; first the results and then the config files:

If the above configuration files don't work for you. Here is the How-to. (describes what I did)
Installed CentOS 4.2 on the computer
Installed OpenVZ
Created a VPS with ID 101
Installed Zimbra in this VPS
Zimbra didn't work!
A few services failed and I checked the logs, which looked something like this:
Could not reserve enough space for object heap
Could not create the Java virtual machine.
Could not create the Java virtual machine.
/opt/zimbra/bin/zmshutil: line 50: Error: command not found
Error: executing: /opt/zimbra/bin/zmlocalconfig -q -m export

Host
Could not create the Java virtual machine.
/opt/zimbra/bin/../bin/zmshutil: line 50: Error: command not found
Error: executing: /opt/zimbra/bin/zmlocalconfig -q -m export
Could not create the Java virtual machine.
/opt/zimbra/bin/../bin/zmshutil: line 50: Error: command not found
Error: executing: /opt/zimbra/bin/zmlocalconfig -q -m export
So, now I checked UBC or user_beancounters using the following command:
vzctl exec 101 cat /proc/user_beancounters
The last column in the results is called failcnt. All the values in this column should be "0" (zero). If there exists a non-zero value in any row corresponding to failcnt column then there is a problem with resource allocation.
So, starting with the resource that has maximum failcnt, I started increasing values for the corresponding variable in /etc/sysconfig/vz-scripts/101.conf configuration file. I increased a little everytime and checked if the result will be Ok (not the solution, but valid configuration). This can be checked by issuing the command:
vzcfgvalidate /etc/sysconfig/vz-scripts/101.conf
First, I increased the limit (the value after the colon":") and after validating the file, I restarted the VPS. If it didn't work, then I increased the barrier (the value before the colon ":") and after validating the file again restarted the VPS.
Slowly the values in failcnt started decreasing and finally became "0" (zero).
Also, it is possible to allocate much more than you have. So, you need not worry if the values that you assign to various resource variables in the config files are very high.
---
That's it! 
Kir, please correct where I am wrong.
Thank-you very much!
