Thank you. Here is what I do now:

VirtualDocumentRoot /usr/local/apache/domains/%-2.1/%-2-%-1/%-3+/

With this, I have the following:

URL                 Directory
www.example.com     /usr/local/apache/domains/e/example-com/www/
dev.example.com     /usr/local/apache/domains/e/example-com/dev/
example.com         /usr/local/apache/domains/e/example-com/_/
www.dev.example.com /usr/local/apache/domains/e/example-com/www.dev/

A symlink from "_" pointing to "www" does the job as far as I am concerned.
Thanks again for your input, it really helped.
