This doesn't seem to be a BIND issue, it's an issue with VMS command line
parsing.  It looks to me like VMS is seeing the '/' in the domain name, and
treating it as if it were introducing a new option.

I don't know VMS very well, but I'll bet there's a way to escape that slash
so it won't be treated specially like this.  Backslash is the escape
character that many operating systems use, so perhaps it's something like:

$ ucx set conf bind /prime=(domain:32\/27.214.141.195.in-addr.arpa)

If that's not right, I suggest you pull out your VMS documentation to find
out the correct way to include literal slashes in command parameters.
