A capacitor after the diode will sort out the impedance issue, it doesn't need to be particularly large as the impedance is only relevant for higher frequencies - 100nF would probably be enough. Add a zener across it to prevent it charging up too much and changing the bias voltage.

BTW, 3.3V tranzorbs ARE available, NXP, Vishay and ST all do them.
