Starmie, Slowbro, and Articuno are all lategame speedbumps for Tauros, and all are easy beaten by Zapdos. Yes, Tauros and Zapdos are both for late game, but no, Zapdos isn't inferior. Just different!

In a pure one on one, starmie blizzard is doing 40% to Zapdos and Zap tbolt is not ohkoing in return. So Starmie will get 2 chances to crit down Zapdos for the KO (unless Zap crits), and if not, still does 80% damage minimum.
Jynx is not 2 shot by drill peck unless you get 2 straight extremely high rolls, so basically Jynx wins that.
DP 2 shots Egg right around average damage, not at all a guarantee.
Anyway, Zapdos is pretty good once (if) its gotten free, but it's not suddenly amazing even when it is free. It still will probably need a clutch crit somewhere to really wreck a team.

Drill Peck has a 42/1521 (~2.8%) chance to 2HKO Jynx, and a 992/1521 (~65%) chance to 2HKO Exeggutor.

Zapdos will probably use agility and not give a fuck about starmie.

I've had luck with triple electric. Raichu is ironically awesome support for jolt/zap.
I have a few separate moveset/support but the most frequently used is a gambit team
jolt: sand-attack pin-missile toxic substitute/hyper beam/thunderwave/thunderbolt
Zapdos Thunderbolt/Thunder (I have doubled up) Drill Peck substitute agility/Thunderwave/rest*/hyper beam
Raichu: Mega Kick Submission Hyper beam Body Slam (or you can go standard wave/bolt/surf/x)
Supporting mons vary wildly.
*Rest is only really useful in zapdos mirror but ultimately, you probably fall to crits here anyway.

Is Raichu beating Chanseys with Submission for you or something? That's the only way I see that working. Lapras for Chansey and Snorlax for Rocks is probably better support.
