Hmmm, perhaps your running embedded Zookeeper? You should _not_ have to run a third Zookeeper, but if you're only running two Zookeepers _both_ must be up for SolrCloud to function. I often run with exactly one _external_ zookeeper when developing locally.
So what it sounds like is that you're running embedded zookeeper so that when you down a node, you're _also_ taking down a Zookeeper.
