Using Sway, I just tried connecting to a remote calendar (in ZOHO) from 
Evolution, using the CalDAV option, and I can see the remote events in 
my local calendar.

However, my operating system configuration includes both Sway and the 
GNOME desktop (I use the former as a fallback when GNOME malfunctions). 
So, in my case, some GNOME-related package or service might be making 
things work, I don't know. Although I didn't start a GNOME session 
before or during my test in Sway. Or it could be something related to 
the calendaring service (?).

I'll try to reproduce your problem in a virtual machine using Sway 
alone. In the meantime, maybe the following issue reported to Evolution 
has useful information you could try (I haven't read it yet): 
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/issues/1692 .

I'd be interested in hearing whether you solved the problem.
