The break points set by package url can be configured by setting \UrlBreakPenalty and \UrlBigBreakPenalty. A value of 10000 prevents the hyphenation:
\documentclass[12pt,a4paper,oneside]{report}
\usepackage{url}
\usepackage{apacite}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[osf]{libertine}
\mathchardef\UrlBreakPenalty=10000
\mathchardef\UrlBigBreakPenalty=10000

Please always post a complete document not just a fragment.
If you add
\show\prefix
you will see it is not exactly the characters before : it is
> \prefix=\long macro:
->\StrBefore {a:b}{:}.
Which presumably does not expand to something hyperref likes.
This version just uses an expandable macro to split on :

biblatex gives some small stretchability in URL breaking using url package \Urlmuskip parameter. This is there whether or not multicolumn is used, it's just that in the narrow measure of a multi column setting the stretchability is more likely to be used if available.
There is probably a higher level biblatex setting for this, but this just patches the ...

apacite uses \AtBeginDocument to switch to the APACtt URL style, but one may also switch to APACsame. See section 8.2 of the apacite manual for details.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{url}
\usepackage{apacite}
\AtBeginDocument{\urlstyle{APACsame}}
\begin{document}
\url{http://www.google.com}
\end{document}

In verbatim environments the - is made active in order to break ligatures, but \url, among its checks doesn't take care of this.
You can fix the behavior in this way:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fancyvrb}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\makeatletter
\let\ORIGhyper@normalise\hyper@normalise
\def\grigg@hyper@normalise{%

Here's one work-around:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fancyvrb,hyperref}% http://ctan.org/pkg/{fancyvrb,hyperref}
\newcommand{\URL}[1]{\url{\detokenize{#1}}}
\begin{document}
\begin{Verbatim}[commandchars=\\\{\}]
\URL{http://a-z.example}
\end{Verbatim}
\end{document}

It's not clear why you want to split at the colon; however, this is a different way to cope with the problem.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{xparse,l3regex}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\ExplSyntaxOn
\tl_new:N \l_gecko_prefix_tl
\tl_new:N \l_gecko_postfix_tl
\NewDocumentCommand{\qname}{m}
{
\regex_match:nnTF { \: } { #1 }
{
\tl_set:Nn ...
