I have never paid with just Avios or cash and Avios before but it wouldn’t let me on the website for Business Class seats so assume it’s either not possible or there is no availability for this method…

Another creative routing is LHR-DFW-NAN-AKL Via AA and Fiji.

FJ also fly to WLG and CHC

Is the "one stop" just a transit and not a stopover (24hrs > )?
Do not ignore PER and ADL as the AU transit. QF fly PER-AKL. ADL-AKL

AKL https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auckland_Airport
OW airlines AA* QF, QR, CX, FJ, MH. HA(AS) will become a OW some time
CHC https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christchurch_Airport
OW airlines QF, FJ, CX*
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wellington_Airport
OW airlines QF, FJ

Edit
Cash paid RTW's a popular topic in OW forum https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/oneworld-411/
