I managed to arrange SSL on my Zabbix site by having a named vhost (mytest.site.com) with any docroot (/var/www/mytest.site.com/public_html). Zabbix hooks into any /zabbix url, so it doesn't really matter which one. It is important that you have a valid DNS resolving to your vhost. Then use Letsencrypt to create a SSL certificate for that vhost and have it forward traffic to port 80 to port 443 (see https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-secure-apache-with-let-s-encrypt-on-ubuntu-16-04 for installation details).
