Right winger Sarah Crilly added a third midway through the second half, before Tessa Wullaert scored a consolation.
Arsenal beat Kazakhstan's CSHVSM-Kairat 11-1 for an 18-2 aggregate victory.
Glasgow head coach Eddie Woleckie Black said: "This is as good a result as we've had in Europe.
"The pressure was on us here, but after criticising the team for some aspects of their play last week I couldn't fault them tonight.
"It took a lot of effort, but we've beaten a very good side and it was a thoroughly deserved win."
Glasgow were in control from the start on their rain-drenched Petershill Park pitch and never looked back after taking a 15th-minute lead.
Zeler turned the ball into her own net under pressure from Suzanne Mulvey as the striker chased a pass from midfielder O'Sullivan.
The Belgian side hit back, with midfielder Sanne Schoenmaker driving a 15-yard shot wide of the post.
But Glasgow went close again when midfielder Jess Fishlock fired in an 18-yard shot that was well saved by the diving Sabrina Broos.
And the Women's Scottish Premier League champions doubled their lead on the half-hour mark as O'Sullivan volleyed home a cross from Crilly.
It was almost 3-0 two minutes into the second half as Crilly sent a looping volley against the crossbar.
But the winger was not to be denied in the 56th minute when she bagged the third goal with a superb 18-yard drive that flew into the roof of the net.
That left the visitors a massive task to claw their way back into the game, but they made a valiant attempt.
Left winger Julie Biesman forced a goal-line save from keeper Lee Alexander, who then had to dive to turn aside a good effort from Wullaert.
Alexander did well to deny Wullaert again as the striker broke clear six minutes from time. But Wullaert finally found the net two minutes into stoppage time, shooting home from left back Faustine Cartegnie's low cross.
For Arsenal, striker Danielle Carter scored four goals and midfielder Kim Little hit a hat-trick - including two penalties.
Their onslaught came in the second half after leading 4-0 at the break through Carter, Ellen White, Little's first penalty and a Jordan Nobbs effort.
Seven goals then followed in a convincing 31 minutes after the break.
Carter and Little completed their tallies, while Nobbs struck a second and substitute Caroline Weir also got her name on the scoresheet.
Midfielder Makhliyo Sarikova scored Kairat's consolation goal a minute into stoppage time.
Arsenal boss Shelley Kerr said of the meeting with Glasgow: "Since the draw was made everybody in Scotland seems to have been desperate for this game to happen.
"Glasgow have proved what a good side they are for a long time now and I'm not surprised they've made it though to the last 16.
"It will be a tough tie for us, but we'll prepare for it as professionally as we would to face any team and we'll focus on ourselves.
"The fact that I'm Scottish is not an issue - my responsibility is to manage Arsenal and I'll be trying to manage them into the last eight."
