Depending on your system and architecture, find Zypper package file (RPM) in online repository (i.e. http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/13.2/repo/oss/suse/i586/ ), download it (wget) and install it (rpm -i) :

wget http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/13.2/repo/oss/suse/i586/zypper-1.11.14-2.1.i586.rpm

sudo rpm -ivh zypper-1.11.14-2.1.i586.rpm
