I wouldn't call the ¨room of requirements¨ a room. I think it is 
something more. It is like an object that when you summon it by 
thought, it works as a port to get you from point X to the point in 
where you need to be. Keep in mind that the room of requirements 
doesn't really exist at Hogwarts, that's why Malfoy would disappear 
in the Maurderers Map. He would be transferred from one place to 
another, which I do not believe is at Hogwarts. For instance, if it 
would ¨make up¨ a room that you needed, then in the Maurderers Map, 
Malfoy would have appeared between the walls.  Not with standing, If 
the case were, that it was actually a room at Hogwarts, it wouldn't 
have to be destroyed, because to destroy a Horcruxe you do not need 
to obliterate the item. For example, DD had destroyed the Horcruxe of 
Salazar´s ring, and the ring, I will jog your memory, was still in 
tact, and quite normal. In conclusion, one does not need to destroy 
the object to destroy the Horcrux it carries.

Great thinking! I must say! And with that last comment, I could see 
that you are not so closed at the theory I made about the Horcruxe. 
And I do hope you come up with and scheme of what it could be, I 
believe you got something!

Dilia:

Well, I don't remember where it says it, but I do remember that in 
HBP DD says that LV returned to Hogwarts to ask for the DADA 
position. And since DD refused, since then, teachers in this area do 
not last more than a year
 If he had time to curse that position 
while being at Hogwarts, he could have stroll through the castle and 
placed the HORCRUXES
 that's my guess.

Best wishes, always,
