I'm not that good with matchups, but I think I can give you some tips

Fox can shine the lasers, which makes it incredibly annoying for ZSS, since she has no other choice but to change her approach and maybe her entire overall gameplay strategies. (I play much differently for that very reason.) I suggest camping with your lasers to rack up damage and attack when she's vulnerable (ending lag).

Falcon can be tricky. Try to use your speed advantage against ZSS to confuse her and strike with the Dair -> Knee combo when she fails to grab you.

Sheik's needles are extremely annoying for ZSS. They have crazy range, are extremely fast and can go through ZSS's lasers, making them really hard to expect (assuming you don't spam it). Izaw's Sheik guide also shows than the SideB, when close enough, can cancel the lazer and hit ZSS at the same time, giving it punish potential. Sheik is also one of the few characters with a chaingrab (not the same as Melee), which she can do to most of the roster until around 60%, take advantage of that the moment you grab her. Of course, the chaingrab itself is really tricky, so I suggest training a lot for the chaingrab alone.

EDIT: I suggest asking tips from more ZSS mains.

Use shield and make her have to risk grabbing you. Then jump or Froll and give her the business.
