How to make it work with Zend_Db ?

Zend_Db does not use the mysql PHP extension, so it does not use the mysql_set_charset() function.

Currently you must run a query like the following to set a character set:

  $db->query("SET NAMES utf8");

There have been suggestions to incorporate charset into the Db adapter constructor arguments, so it would take effect as the Db adapter makes its lazy connection to the database.  

But so far only a few patches have been written in issue ZF-1541 in the bug-tracker.  No tests or documentation has been written, nor has any code been committed to the ZF product.
