Why can't you connect over clearnet to your own node?

Not many reasons to be concerned with that, can keep your node bind addresses Tor-only (as I assume you're doing now) and expose something like C-Lightning-REST over clearnet, Tailscale, ZeroTier, or VPN w/ port forward.

Zeus works immaculately over clearnet with your own node.

So... you're saying that you leave LND bind to 127.0.0.1:9050 (or whatever Tor port) and then have an additional service on clearnet? I always thought I was connecting to the same Tor port when using Zeus.

I don't use LND, but IIRC the RPC port you connect Zeus to is different from the p2p port where LN comms happen between your node and others.

Ok. I'll take a closer look. If I remember correctly though, Core Lightning has two services (one for the node, one for REST) and I don't recall seeing two on LND. Hopefully someone can correct me.
