Are there any US or European FF programs that can earn miles with Etihad besides SN Brussels?

I don't know which question you were answering with "I don't think so." But, yes, SkyTeam777, the codeshare means you will be able to earn AA miles on Etihad flights. All AA-coded flights can earn miles, regardless of the carrier.

"Under the new arrangement, American Airlines will place its 'AA' code on services operated by Etihad Airways between New York (JFK), Chicago (ORD), Paris (CDG), Dublin, Frankfurt, Manchester and Milan (MXP) to and from Abu Dhabi."
