Zotero is indeed a great tool to maintain a publications database locally. As far as creating an online database though, were visitors can browse through relevant publications, search and download papers, i would recommend Refbase. http://www.refbase.net/index.php/Web_Reference_Database
Registered users in Refbase can be organised into groups and upload their publications in a variety of formats (endnote, bibtex, refman, etc) A typical usage scenario would be to create a sub collection of papers within the main library of Zotero with the relevant material one wants to share in refbase. You then export this sub collection in bibtex and upload it to refbase from where it is made available to everyone. We have been using these two tools for some time now in our projects and this workflow seems to be working. I hope this helps.
