It's too bad they don't have showers. I have used the showers at the Swiss SEN lounge when connecting from a long-haul non-Schengen flight to a short-haul Schengen flight and was hoping they would have one for the OW equivalent. But then ZRH is a Swiss Air hub (*A) and not really a major OW airport, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised. A note to self - when making a OW connection in Europe and looking to use a shower, connect through a OW hub (LHR, MAD, HEL).

Had a fantastic time in this lounge. No, not because of the lounge dragon giving me a hard time because of missing plastic, not because I chose the wrong wine (bad Swiss white wine), not because of the dark tasteful décor... But! Walking in on the two lounge girls doing some kind of karaoke performance - including the evil lounge dragon! Priceless!

To bring this thread back to life: can I use this lounge when flying on QR to DOH?
I know that I'd have to still go through passport and take the train to reach the actual departure gate, but in ZRH there are never surprises so that can be pretty accurately timed.
Thus: although being a third party lounge, is it accessible to status pax of all OW airlines?

From the oneworld website as well:
A non-affiliated third party may operate some lounges on behalf of the individual airline. Access to some lounges operated by third-parties on behalf of oneworld member airlines may be restricted at some times.

You mean the new HKG service that's slated to start March next year? Can't really tell at this point which lounge CX will be using as they don't currently fly to ZRH, but I presume the OW lounge will be the most likely candidate.

As bhomburg indicated, too early to tell.
According to OW website, the "OW lounge" is no longer a OW lounge per se. It is a third party lounge (The Zurich Lounge) so access might be limited to passengers travelling on those OW airlines listed.

Indeed, QR and RJ, as well as those OW airlines not operating ZRH, are no longer listed. QR and RJ seem to use Dnata lounge. On the other hand side, a few non-OW airlines are now also using it (EY, JU, FI). EY and JU make sense in a way as they are in the same family as AB.
