In 1948 he married the artist Hedwig Weber (1922–1987). From 1950 to 1955 he was a teacher at the art academy in Enschede, where he taught Jan Kip and Gerard van der Leeden, among others.

In 1962 the artist couple moved to Delft, where Zweerus succeeded Oswald Wenckebach as professor of form study and three-dimensional design at the Technische Hogeschool. He had a studio at the faculty and was associated with the school until 1982.The couple lived in Bergen (1969-1978) and finally settled in Oosterbeek.
