On the Zoom with where you had it placed one of the XY mikes was probably pointed right at the soundhole. Try the Zoom directly inline with the soundhole (could be somewhat above or below the soundhole) and out about 20" as a starting point and adjust the distance to what sounds the best. Things would all sound much better using two external mikes, not the Zoom's mikes. Those are places where I would start. If not happy with that then consider room treatment although it is hard to know where to stop once you start that and it changes the look of the room ( the wife's got to agree to that).
