Unfortunately Zend_Dom_Query doesn’t support the :nth-child(n) selector from css, but reverting back to xpath to query you could write:

 $result = $dom->queryXpath('//div[@id="test"]/span[2]');

The Zend_Dom_Query library uses xpath behind a scenes to execute CSS style queries so, if you got struck with xpath syntax, you can take a sneak peek into what’s it generated with the getXpathQuery method on the result objects.
