Prosecutor Michael Reza told the court that they allegedly forced the teenager to wear condoms before having sex with the three of them.
They secured the used condoms containing semen and left him unconscious after spraying an unknown substance on his face.
On August 22, they were alleged to have given a soldier a lift and forced him to have sex with them after threatening to shoot him, the prosecutor told the court.
In another case, the trioare said to have stopped next to a policeman, dragged him into their car after pretending to ask for directions and forced him to have sex with them.
The women used different cars to pick up 15 other men and forced themselves on them.
They were arrested when they were involved in an accident in which a pedestrian was killed. Police found 33 used condoms containing semen in the boot of the car.
Magistrate Kudakwashe Jarabini denied bail for all four accused.
A day before they were brought to Harare, more than 50 people stormed the Gweru central police stationwhere the three women were held.
As the women continued to be interviewed by detectives , the! local r esidents gathered outside, demanding to mete out street justice.
One of them, Nkululeko Ndlovu said: "People should be given a chance to see these women. We want to know what they were doing with the semen."

Another resident, Mary Mangoma, said: "All along, I was thinking that they had made it in life yet they were making money through such acts."
"They would change their hairstyles in less than three days and I admired them, but now I have realised that it was not clean money."
Watch Ruparanganda, a professor of sociology at the University of Zimbabwe, said sperm was often used in rituals because it was associated with the regeneration of life.
''People believe that sperm can make someone's luck improve,'' he said, adding that unscrupulous businessmen were behind the attacks.
Zimbabwe's Daily News reported that semen used in rituals was selling like ''hot cakes'' in South Africa, where a condom full of the fluid could fetch as much as US$390 (RM1,215).
