I think that it works with M&M and UA MP but I would like to be 100% sure.
If I manage to book QR operated flights under UA or LH codes, will such flights credit EQM in UA MP, respectively LH M&M (it works that way with Flying Blue...)?
Thanks again!

QR is not a *A member, only a codeshare partner with some *A carriers. Thus only RDMs would be earned in any of QR's codeshare partner's FFPs who are a member of *A. This appears to be AC, LH, and UA. QR does not seem to be a member of any alliance from what I could see when looking at their web site.
This link should help with more information about *A and various FFPs:

While the first post was in 2004, it was last edited in Oct 2008. Which FFP works the best for you depends on what features or benefits are most important to you.
BTW, UA is starting a non-stop from IAD to DXB (Dubai) on Oct 26. Emirates is a UA partner codeshare that would get you to DOH. So it should become possible to do YUL-IAD on AC(*A) if UA has no metal on that leg, IAD-DXB on UA metal, and then DXB-DOH on the code share.
