What's interesting to note about zero-point energy, expressed through quantum physics, is that it is full of problems. One weird prediction related to it is that there's infinite energy, a sure sign that there's something fundamentally wrong with the whole concept.
The complexity of the equations, and the mental gymnastics that is required in order to make sense of it, does not inspire confidence either. It seems needlessly complex.
A simple model in which all forms of energy are bound to dielectric matter as either vibrations or orbits seems more reasonable. Instead of empty space being filled with virtual particles, why not have space filled with real particles? Why not fill space with low energy photons?
With space filled with real particles, zero-point energy becomes a function of density and temperature. It becomes simple thermodynamics.
Unless someone can tell me what quantum field theory is solving that a thermodynamic model of photons bouncing about cannot explain, I'm going to stick with my personal conclusion that space is filled with photons, and that photons are a special form of dielectric matter.
Since my model solves all the problems I have encountered so far regarding the relationship between energy, light, matter and gravity, I see no reason to embrace anything more complex.
