You don't mention which versioon of Zimbra is in use but I'd recommend you take a look at ZeXtras Migration Tool, it's easy to use, it's free and it works a treat. You could also take a look at some of the official methods on the ZImbra wiki or some of the many form threads on this topic in the official Zimbra support forums.

Three ways to migrate:
1. backup /opt/zimbra; install zimbra (same version exactly!) in the VM; restore /opt/zimbra over the setup
2. use virt-p2v
3. install a fresh zimbra in a VM and run a zimbra migration: http://www.zextras.com/zextras-migra...to-zimbra.html or http://wiki.zimbra.com/wiki/Zimbra_to_Zimbra_Migration
