There is no need to set "Options ...other-options... ExecCGI" for these directories if you define a ScriptAlias for each of them (with ScriptAlias, or files in and below this directory are considered scripts and are executed if they have the right permissions, i.e. commonly set with chmod 755).

So I suggest to define a ScriptAlias inside each VirtualHost section:

<VirtualHost ...>
  ...
  ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /path/to/the/vhost-specific/cgi-bin/
  ...
</VirtualHost>

Then for each VirtualHost, the URI /cgi-bin/ leads to the cgi-bin directory for this VirtualHost and the scripts therein can be executed.
