I just discover that after you have zoom in on an object using the View Cube you can go back to the previous view by cancel the command and select the View Cube again.

I recently had a devil of a time even finding my ViewCube! I finally found that it was hiding, and not available because I had Options > 3D Modeling > Display the ViewCube un-checked for "2D Wireframe visual style". To zoom in on one or more objects, I personally use my keyboard, via my acaddoc.lsp file, wherein I have a command "zo", which executes "Zoom" and then "Object". I also have "zp" set for "Zoom" > "Previous", which works about 10 times.

Alternately you could just position the cursor over the item you want to view and use the scroll wheel. Nice to have another method but sometimes you don't need a better mousetrap.
