When you request "/", "try_files $uri/" founds that there is
a directory "/vhosts/default/test/" and nginx uses "location /"
for handling the request. Then the directive "index" tries to
find its default value "index.html". If it can not find it, this leads
to 403.

Probably, you need

location / {
    root /vhosts/default/test;
    try_files $uri $uri/ @fallback;
    index  index.php;
}
