I'm assuming that this check is running *on* the host 'zurich'?
/var/log/secure should be listing an entry, if sudo is being run.
Manually, *as the nagios user*, what happens when you do the following?
/usr/bin/sudo /sbin/iptables -nvL | /bin/grep 'Chain' | \
/bin/awk '{ print $2 }'| /bin/grep Cid | /usr/bin/wc -l
echo $?
How about just (again, as the nagios user):
/usr/bin/sudo /sbin/iptables -nvL
