Hey Steve, one of my clients has a pretty comprehensive ZF application and it also runs on AWS. Unfortunately it's not open source, but I frequently blog about our findings (shameless plug: http://till.klampaeckel.de/blog/plugin/tag/zend-framework) and I'm happy to answer questions if you run into any dead ends or need an opinion. An example for open source software using ZF would be piwik (http://piwik.org). I just updated an installation and noticed that it uses ZF as well. Don't know to which extend though. Another example would be Tine - http://tine20.org. A open source groupware, also written on top of ZF. Then Magento Commerce (http://magentocommerce.com). They use a lot of ZF, but not all of it, or rather, they came up with their own questionable implementations in some cases. ;-) And last but not least, I also read that OXID (another shop system) is currently being rewritten using the ZF. They also have a community edition, so that might be something for you to look at. Oh, and then there's also a webblog system written with ZF (I forgot the name - Ben would know about it), but I'm not sure how far they got or if it currently works anyway. Last time I tried I failed to install it, but I'm sure they progressed. Till
