I'm sure ZF also invests in developping electric drivetrains, so the EV market certainly doesn't have to mean bad economical prognosis for ZF.
As long as cars have drivetrains, ZF has potential customers (apart from that ZF is a conglommerate, they also own Sachs, Boge etc etc)
VAG uses ZF as Audi is starting to use ZF8's on their larger cars as do Porsches in SUV's. The best automatic transmission in the world (PDK) is made by ZF in collaboration with Porsche.
