It is definitely not known if $\zeta(3)/\pi^3$ is rational or not. By the way, there is a paper of Felder and Willwacher where they prove that the weight of a certain graph appearing in Kontsevich's formality quasi-isomorphism is, up to a rational, $\zeta(3)/\pi^3$. The question whether Kontsevich's quasi-isomorphism is defined ofover $\mathbb{Q}$ or not, is still open. If the answer to this question would be "yes", then the associator defined by Alekseev and Torossian would have rational coefficients... and that would definitely be a great result!

Among the main recent advances concerning rationality of zeta values, there are the works of Tanguy Rivoal and Wadim Zudilin. One of the most advanced results is that there is at least one irrational in $\zeta(5)$, $\zeta(7)$, $\zeta(9)$, $\zeta(11)$.
