If you are really getting 404, then the problem is that your Options
directive is not applied in the correct place in the config file. 
See:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/misc/FAQ.html#options

You may also be getting a "no acceptable variants" error, in which
case you should see:
http://tranchant.plus.com/notes/multiviews
which should work in 1.3, even though it says it only works in 2.0.
