It will take multiple one way awards if you want to stay in ZRH though.
If this is for the time of the year -- includes part of the summer at least -- where BA does not have a flight from LHR to DBV, then a transfer out to LGW from LHR may be needed (perhaps even the night before) to fly BA to LGW. And with AA's being a slave to published route rules, who knows if AA would then want to charge for multiple one-way awards even if doing just a connection in London (of under 24 hours).
