Bologna had gone 10 games without defeat before losing to Fiorentina before the international break.
Fabbian broke the deadlock for the home side after 56 minutes on Monday (Tuesday AEDT).
The midfielder had a relatively easy finish after goalkeeper Luca Gemello committed himself outside the box. Although Torino defenders scrambled back to cover, Fabbian slotted the ball with aplomb.
Zirkee doubled their lead two minutes into added time and lifted his side two places to sixth on the table.
The Turin club matched Bologna for long spells but could not find the net. A win would have given them the honour of becoming only the eighth team in Serie A history to reach the milestone of 3000 points. The defeat leaves them in 12th place.
