SolrCloud doesn't work unless every shard has at least one server that is up and running.
I _think_ you might be killing both nodes that host one of the shards. The admin page has a link showing you the state of your cluster. So when this happens, does that page show both nodes for that shard being down? And yeah, SolrCloud requires a quorum of ZK nodes up. So with only one ZK node, killing that will bring down the whole cluster. Which is why the usual recommendation is that ZK be run externally and usually an odd number of ZK nodes (three or more). Anyone can create a login and edit the Wiki, so any clarifications are welcome!
