Meteor kills your whole party? Even at LVL 60, that's pretty hard to be so. Even if it leaves you at very low HP, having two White Mages can easily restore you back to full HP.

And you need to keep restoring your Shell, that should be your top priority once Rosa is fully healed.

You're mostly having bad luck, but that doesn't make it impossible. I defeated him at LVL 65 or so and it only took me two tries (a bad timed Kain's Jump was the fault for not doing it on the first try). 

Meteor does 5000 damage without shell, and I'm pretty sure Meteor ignores Split Damage like Big Bang.

And everyone's Lv 60-65.

I don't remember it doing that much, mostly in the 2000-3000 area. Must have been because I always tried to keep Shell up. 

Oh, and have you been using Slow on him too? 

Edit - And I also forgot. Meteor only kicks when he's at 30K HP or so. At this time, just throw all the strongest items in the game with Edge and simply go all out on him.  

I can't keep slow on him!

He uses black hole and big bang! Rosa dies, can't resurrect her or I won't be able to damage Zeromus at all. And Black Hole wipes him clean every other turn so resurrecting Rosa so often means I can't damage him.

And yes, Meteor does that much.

Here's the strategy I used until Meteor fucked me up. Three times.

1) Wail on Zeromus, talking Fuma Shurikens, the best weapons, Bahamut, just SLAUGHTER him

2) Zeromus shakes

3) Kain Jump

4) Party Dies

5) Kain Lands

6) Kain uses Phoenix Down on Edge (he can deal the most damage the most quickly) unless Zeromus shakes

7) Elixir or Kain if hit by Flare

8) Rinse and Repeat

9) PRAY TO DEAR GOD THAT YOU CAN AVOID METEOR

10) Die

It works pretty well, until the whole death part.

This is pretty much the only consistent strategy that works to deal damage to him.
