To Bootstrap my unit tests, I had to use the ViewHelperManager to hydrate some entities (with zf-hal) and insert them in my ElasticSearch database, however since there is no Route and MvcEvent at this point, the following error occurred:

PHP Fatal error:  Call to a member function getRouteMatch() on null in
/var/www/app/vendor/zendframework/zendframework/library/Zend/Mvc/Service/ViewHelperManagerFactory.php on line 70

The factory is meant to be used within an initialized Zend\Mvc\Application. In your test, either set up a test application running init() explicitly with a mock config, or override the url plugin factory.
