I think that when you create a primary zone, the DNS server will check this
before any kind of forwarding. If it finds that it is primary for the
domain, then it doesn't look any further.

However, try this and see if it works for you:

Leave the forwarding in place, and create a new primary zone called
prod.domain.com. Add a single A record, leaving the name blank so that it
uses the parent domain. Remove your other primary domain of domain.com.
Let me know if this solves the problem.
