If you do that and the site gets busy then you may hit the maximum number of redirects allowed on that server and have the site fall over because of it.

Moving to the root is the best option.

You can put this in the bottom on your .htaccess file without the quotes. Basically what this commands says is that when someone enters your domain name in their web broswer they will be redirected to zencart's index.php file.
