This list is from Switzerland's FDFA -- the website of the Swiss Federal Office for Migration (enclosure no. 7A of the visa handbook 1).

If you stay within the international transit zone, then you don't need a transit visa:

Airline passengers on authorised regular services in principle do not require an airport transit visa providing they fulfill the following cumulative requirements:

a. they are in possession of a valid and recognized travel document;

b. they do not leave the transit area;

c. they continue their journey by air within 48 hours;

d. they are in possession of the travel documents and visa required for entering the country of destination;

e. they possess an airline ticket for the journey to their destination;

f. and they have booked their connecting flight prior to their arrival at a Swiss airport.
