Apart from all previous solutions with careful chmod's, one could use
a logger script and make Apache serve logs to the script via a pipe.
E.g. there's a tool called cronolog, which allows to create more complex
filenaming and auto-rotation of logs. I think there is an option
in that tool to re-create missing directories, and even if there isn't
it shouldn't be very difficult to patch it.
Example:
CustomLog "|/sbin/cronolog -p '1 days' \
-S /var/log/apache/example.com/access.log \
/var/log/apache/example.com/%Y%m%d.log" combined
