"But let's just say an AD caster (like zed or talon) bought QSS. If they tried to approach me I could use Q and E."

Both have blinks, Zed actually has a couple tied to seperate CDs and Talon can pop ulti for stealth. Malz's q is already difficult to land against a decent opponent, trying to land it on either of these champs even while still in the laning phase is much more challenging than you make it.

"But again it depends on who outplays who since you must try land your Q which is an awkward enough skillshot to land."

I completely agree. I have seen a few LCS opinions on stealth and the consensus is that Malz has little "leveraging" or play making power. Enemies must miss step into his abilities for them to work properly as opposed to other champs who can simply do everything right to accomplish their playstyle.

Malz is one of my most played champs and I think he fun as hell (especially after Leblanc, Kass, and Talon getting their silences removed XD) but I don't consider him the best duelist simply because of how much he requires his ulti.
