Assuming both flights are booked on one ticket, I´d recommend 90min for a LH/LX connection. ZRH is somewhat more pleasant than FRA and requires slightly less time (and I´ve done 45min connections at both airports - it´s no fun, but doable if you know the airports well enough), but 90min should definitely be sufficient.
