Assume the complement of in is not connected, say and are relatively closed and disjoint in (and nonempty of course); let be the complement of the closure of and the complement of the closure of , then and are disjoint nonempty open subsets of and the complement of their union, , is closed in , a subset of and it separates .
In short: contains a closed set that also separates; as you noted that set is zero-dimensional and hence the answer is `no' for Euclidean spaces.
I don't know (yet) about Hilbert space.
