Are there any limitations for placing large (say 15 MB) files inside zope databases?

No limits other than those imposed by the OS file system (ie: Linux
is currently limited to 2GB Data.fs files).  If your large objects
are static, placing them in the ZODB is reasonable.  If they are 
dynamic, then your Data.fs is going to grown *fast* (a new 15MB chuck 
for every change to the object).  You might want to look at the LocalFS
product, which allows you to serve files out of the local file system 
through Zope.  Depending on your specific application, that is probably 
the better way to go.
