The airline was correct to deny you boarding.
The flight from Zurich to Vienna is a domestic flight, which means you would have needed to enter the Schengen region in Zurich, and depart it in Vienna. Doing so requires a visa as you are not deemed to be in international transit through either airport – you are connecting from an international flight to a domestic flight (Zurich), and then from a domestic flight to an international flight (Vienna).
The exception you mention for US permanent residents only allows you to transit if you can do so without leaving the international transit area of the airport. In your case you could not do that, so the exception does not apply.
