Can I rent a car at Zurich Airport without a credit card?

Yes. With DRAIV, a Stripe-supported debit card is enough to book without a credit card. In the current DRAIV web checkout, your payment method is stored instead of a deposit being held: only the rental price and fees are charged when you book. For pickup at Zurich Airport, the rental must last at least 48 hours, be booked at least 24 hours ahead, and use a car available for instant booking.
