According to the Modern Warfare 3 Zombies Season 3 patch notes, these are all the changes:
GAMEPLAY
Perk-A-Colas
- Aether Shroud
- Addressed an issue that allowed Aether Shroud visual effects to remain on an Operator in the Third Person for longer than intended.
- Acquisitions
- Removed the ability to apply Aether Tools to Vehicle Turrets.
- Note: While players could elect to use the tool on the Vehicle Turret, the damage would not scale properly which would waste the Aether Tool.

The V-R11
- Addressed an issue that prevented the V-R11 from transforming Warlord Bodyguards into Zombies.

CHALLENGES
Prestige Challenges
- Unlock new Prestige Calling Card Challenges at each level of prestige reached, and select up to five challenges to track, including any from across the game.
