Basically he means exactly the same thing John Lennon means in his song "Jealous Guy". It's a word that hasn't changed in meaning in four hundred years. Look it up in a dictionary if you like.

One of the implications of a jealous lover is that he is overprotective of his love, always guarding her because he fears she will be taken away. This feature of overprotectiveness is often the quality Shakespeare is thinking of when he uses the word "jealous" or "jelaousy".
