You probably want to use canonical rewriting instead of virtual
rewriting. That way addresses in the headers will also be rewritten.

But that won't solve your problem. I suggest you avoid the .* domain
wildcard and instead explicitly list the domains that you want
rewritten.

/(.)[^\.]*\.(.*)example\.com$/ $1$2example.com
/(.)[^\.]*\.(.*)example\.org$/ $1$2example.org
/(.)[^\.]*\.(.*)example\.net$/ $1$2example.net
