I know its been a year and you must have found a path already but its for the future reference.

Just add another host: 

<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/******/subdomain
DirectoryIndex index.php
<Directory "/var/www/html/*****/subdomain">
AllowOverride All
Allow from All
</Directory>
ServerName www.subdomain.******.com
ServerAlias subdomain.******.com
SSLEngine off 
SSLVerifyClient optional
</VirtualHost>

Of course restarting apache is needed in order to make it read the new VHost

What you need to do next is add an A record in you domain registrar (i.e, Godaddy). Record name will be your "subdomain" and it'll point to your server address:

A-----------------> @ --------------------> ******.com
A-----------------> ******.com------------> ******.com
A-----------------> subdomian.******.com--> ******.com
