FullURL does work - I use it myself.

The Catalog directive shown above is incorrect.  In FullURL mode, the
script name would need to change from "/cgi-bin/store" to
"www.domain.com/cgi-bin/store".  It would also be a good idea to add
"www.domain.com:443/cgi-bin/store" as an alias.

Of course, you'd also need to change the site names.  Your example
shows three sites, all called 'store'.

I would suggest the following:

    Catalog domain directory /home/domain.com/catalogs/store
    Catalog domain script    www.domain.com/cgi-bin/store
    Catalog domain alias     www.domain.com:443/cgi-bin/store

    Catalog myhome directory /home/myhome.com/catalogs/store
    Catalog myhome script    www.myhome.com/cgi-bin/store
    Catalog myhome alias     www.myhome.com:443/cgi-bin/store

    Catalog store  directory /home/store.domain.com/catalogs/store
    Catalog store  script    store.domain.com/cgi-bin/store
    Catalog store  alias     store.domain.com:443/cgi-bin/store

You can create a single line (per site) with all the Catalog information,
but I prefer to split it out.

Have fun. :-)
