I guess you already tried:
zoneadm -z new_zone clone -s /snapshot/of/old-zone@weeks-ago old-zone

If this won't work - maybe because of
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=17387 - just use zfs
send to receive the snapshot as your new_zones filesystem and do a
"zoneadm -z new_zone attach"
