Zou, 29, was last year jailed for life with a minimum term of 24 years after he was convicted of 11 counts of rape, with two of the offences relating to one victim.
The Chinese PHD student was also found guilty of three counts of voyeurism, 10 of possession of an extreme pornographic image, one of false imprisonment and three of possession of a controlled drug with intent to commit a sexual offence, namely butanediol.
He kept a trophy box of women's belongings and filmed nine of the rapes on women as they lost consciousness, his trial at Inner London Crown Court in March last year, heard.
Detectives have sent a file of evidence to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) relating to several alleged offences, including rape and administering a substance with intent to commit a sexual offence.
A number of women came forward after a public appeal, the Metropolitan Police said on Monday.
The alleged offences follow reports made by five women who contacted police, as well as two further alleged offences of rape involving two unidentified women.
No charging decision has been made in relation to any further alleged offences as prosecutors consider the evidence, the force said.
Separate enquiries remain ongoing into allegations involving women who were allegedly sexually assaulted in China.
Detective chief superintendent Angela Craggs, whose team is leading the investigation, thanked the women who came forward after the appeal, saying they had shown "considerable courage".
The new file of evidence "marks a significant step in our investigation", she said.
She added: "We remain committed to supporting victim-survivors and pursuing all available lines of enquiry.
"I would encourage anyone who believes they may have been affected, or anyone with information that could assist our investigation, to contact us.
"Every report will be treated seriously, handled with care and sensitivity, and investigated thoroughly by specially trained officers."
Sam Sharp, 39, gave birth to her son Joey in 2020, but after just a week at home, he had to go back to hospital after he struggled to feed, lost weight and developed jaundice.
The newborn from Penicuik, Midlothian, also began twitching intermittently.
When doctors investigated a small infection in one of his fingernails, an ultrasound revealed it was a brain tumour causing his symptoms.
Ms Sharp, an orthopaedic nurse, said: "Once we were in hospital, doctors noticed what looked like a tiny infection in one of his fingernails.
"It was so small, almost like a grain of sand under the nail. We had no idea then that within hours we'd be facing every parent's worst nightmare."
Joey underwent three brain surgeries and nine rounds of chemotherapy afterwards, with two operations to remove the tumour, and a third to help alleviate the scar tissue that remained, which had prevented drugs from treating his seizures.
At this point, he was suffering from more than 30 epileptic seizures a day and needed feeding tubes to eat.
He took part in clinical trials to help researchers gain a better understanding of chemotherapy treatment for babies.
Speaking of her son's battle, Ms Sharp said she had been told that without surgery that day, Joey was unlikely to survive.
As Joey's diagnosis took place during the COVID-19 pandemic, Joey's father, Steven, had been sent home under hospital restrictions.
Ms Sharp said: "I was sitting there alone with our tiny baby while doctors explained what they'd found. As a nurse, I understood enough to know how serious the situation was, but nothing prepares you for hearing words like that about your own child."
Steven was allowed back in before Joey was taken to theatre. Ms Sharp said: "Watching your newborn baby disappear through those theatre doors is something no parent should ever have to experience."
Specialists who took samples of the tumour discovered it was a glioblastoma, an aggressive and incurable form of brain cancer.
Towards the end of his treatment, in August 2021, after receiving his final chemotherapy, Joey's family were told his latest scan showed no evidence of disease.
Ms Sharp said: "We'd been preparing ourselves to hear that he would probably need more surgery after chemotherapy, so hearing those words was overwhelming. For the first time in months, we felt like we could finally breathe again."
Now aged five, little Joey has cerebral palsy, with little use of his right hand, wears a leg brace and uses a wheelchair for longer distances.
Despite his circumstances, his mum said he has a love for life, enjoying swimming and spending time with his siblings, eight-year-old Carly and one-year-old Robbie. He's also started school.
Calling him "our little ray of sunshine," she said he's "the kindest, funniest and most loving little boy you could ever meet. He fills every room with laughter and never lets anything hold him back… He approaches life with so much determination and happiness."
Ms Sharp called for more investment in brain cancer research from the Scottish government, with a deadline of 2029.
She will be running the Edinburgh Marathon next year, with donations going to the Scottish Brain Tumour Research Centre of Excellence in a bid to find a cure for glioblastoma.
Scotland is the first nation in the UK to have a dedicated cancer strategy for children and young people.
They blocked roads for hours and vowed to stay all night in the second major anti-migrant protest in two days.
The government condemned the "thuggish" behaviour at the protest, with Sky correspondent Barnaby Papadopoulos saying protesters threw items at police.
A "substantial crowd" of demonstrators gathered, with chants of "stop the boats" and "send them back" heard, Papadopoulos added.
A police dispersal order was in place, with many of those at Portsmouth dressed in all black and wearing face masks.
It comes after a dinghy, reported to be carrying some 140 migrants, was intercepted in the English Channel on Sunday.
It left the Jobourg region of Normandy in France and is thought to have made one of the longest journeys of any small boat - landings as far west as Hampshire are rare.
It was met in the Channel by two RNLI boats who took the migrants to Portsmouth.
From there, the migrants were expected to be taken to a processing centre in Manston.
But the hundreds of protesters in Portsmouth on Sunday evening said they were determined to prevent authorities from transporting the migrants in coaches to the processing centre.
In a livestream at the scene, Daniel Thomas, known as Danny Tommo - an associate of right-wing activist Tommy Robinson - said: "Roads are all blocked, they are never going to be able to leave here."
He added: "It was only yesterday [at the protests in Dover] when we warned them that we will not accept this any more, and that this is no longer an option to tell us that the boat numbers are down.
"This isn't about the numbers being down… this is about understanding that this has to come to an end now."
'Thuggish behaviour'
Hampshire Police said in a statement on Sunday night a dispersal order was in place until Monday evening and officers were "in the area to ensure the prevention of disorder".
Anyone who refuses to comply with the direction is "liable for arrest", the force added.
A government spokesperson said: "We condemn the intimidating and thuggish behaviour we are seeing tonight.
"The right to peaceful protest is fundamental to our democracy, but it must never cross a line into disorder.
"We thank the emergency services who are working to safely manage this situation."
Conservative MP for Isle of Wight East, Joe Robertson, posted: "Extremely concerning to see an illegal migrant crossing this far west.
"We don't know if this migrant boat was headed for the Isle of Wight but I'll be contacting the Home Office first thing. We need to know exactly what happened and if new routes are being used for mega-dinghies by people smugglers."
Chief Secretary to the Treasury Emma Reynolds said on Mornings with Ridge and Frost she supports the right to peaceful protests, "but this has crossed the line".
She thanked the police and other emergency services for "bringing this situation under control" and said the people to blame are the "thugs themselves".

It comes a day after anti-illegal migrant protests blocked the Port of Dover.
Hundreds of masked, black-clad men blocked road access to the Kent port.
Videos showed demonstrators marching through the town and chanting "Stop the boats" as dozens of police officers followed.
Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds told Sky News' Sunday Morning programme that peaceful protest is not "dressing up in costumes" and "disrupting people's lives".
He declined to comment "on the security and policing side of it" when pressed on the apparent unpreparedness of Kent Police, who described the protest as "spontaneous" in a statement on X.
On the same programme, Reform UK's economic spokesman Robert Jenrick also condemned the disruption, while saying he understood the frustration with small boats crossing the Channel carrying migrants.
There were at least five dead, Mayor Daniella Levine Cava told a news conference.
Three others are critically injured and two others are in hospital with less severe injuries, Miami-Dade rescue fire chief Ray Jadallah added.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said the Boeing 767 overran the runway at around 2pm (7pm UK time) after heading into Florida from San Juan, Puerto Rico.
Flights have been halted, with all runways and taxiways closed.
Around 60 firefighters were at the scene.
The plane came to rest beside a road, with two lorries parked nearby.
Amazon earlier told NBC in a statement: "We can confirm that an Amazon Air plane operated by 21 Air experienced an incident while attempting to land at Miami International Airport today.
"This is a fast-moving situation and we're still gathering details. We're working closely with local authorities and officials to understand exactly what happened.
"Right now, our absolute priority is the safety, well-being, and care of everyone involved. We're doing everything we can to support those affected."
US secretary of transportation Sean Duffy posted on X: "We've issued a full ground stop at Miami International while first responders assess the scene after an Amazon cargo plane overran the runway.
"If you're traveling through the area, please expect significant delays and potential cancellations."

In a statement, a spokesperson for Boeing said: "Boeing extends our deepest condolences to the families and loved ones of those who lost their lives in the accident in Miami.
"Our hearts go out to those injured and affected by this tragedy. Boeing is supporting the investigation led by the US National Transportation Safety Board."
The FAA has said flights will be delayed once the airport reopens, with a low rate of arrivals and departures.
Around 250 flights were delayed at the airport as of late afternoon local time on Sunday.
The National Transportation Safety Board said it is "gathering information" about the crash.
The bus veered off a road on Fogo - one of Cape Verde's islands in the Atlantic Ocean - late on Saturday and fell around 30m into a steep ravine.
Several injured passengers were taken to a hospital on the island and seven bodies were buried immediately due to their condition, local media reported.
Many of those on board were primary and secondary school students, according to national news agency Inforpress.
The outing was a private trip arranged by the driver, who was among those killed, the agency added.

Cape Verde’s president, Jose Maria Pereira Neves, called the incident “a great catastrophe” in a statement on his Facebook page.
Authorities have yet to establish the cause, with the president and other officials expected to visit the island on Sunday.
