Francis val Britannia-

His exact words were "you shall serve Zero". There's nothing in the sentence which implies that he only serves Zero at specific times, so it's 24/7. He'll always be a servant to Zero. Note, that the wording is for a servant, and doesn't allow him to act autonomously in Zero's best interests- see how he just watches on, visibly Geassed during the finale, even though he isn't doing anything else. Other people only appear visibly geassed if their trigger comes up (e.g. Suzaku's live command).

Without his Geass being cancelled, Schneizel is as good as a puppet, without a mind of his own.So long as Schneizel can recognise someone as Zero (either Lelouch's face, or someone in a Zero costume) he'll serve them believing them to be the true Zero, unless proven otherwise.

But, that gives another problem. Anyone can just incapacitate Suzaku, put on a Zero costume and do a good impersonation, and Schneizel would serve them.
