Honestly, as someone who plays Veigar religiously, I can say the worst things for him to fight against are Morgana and Fizz. Morgana probably being the worst of the two.

Morgana's Black Shield is the bread and butter to the counter. Yeah, Morgana's probably more associated with support, but she's still a good and super safe mid lane pick. Any time Veigar tries to use his Event Horizon, just use Black Shield to avoid it. You can walk in and out of the stun zone freely. As a bonus, this leaves an aggressive Veigar defenseless, making it easy to turn on him and get off some serious poke if you max Tormented Soil first. With Morgana mid, you can run just about any secondary summoner spell you want, but I'd recommend Barrier against Veigar. This, paired with Black Shield, can cancel out at least two thirds of his ult damage.

Fizz is frustrating if played right. The idea to this matchup is to save Playful/Trickster only for when Veigar uses his Event Horizon. If either of them use their E abilities carelessly, it could spell death for the other. It's incredibly back and forth if played wrong, but entirely one-sided if you play Fizz a little more defensively. The Playful/Trickster is enough to get you out of the stun zone, which leaves Veigar defenseless in melee range. It's an easy kill after level 6, once the Fizz has ult and only uses E to get out of the Event Horizon. I can say from experience that the Veigar player will try to look for an opening to stun you, so it's best to keep the map warded afterwards to avoid getting caught out without an E because you were farming. A Veigar who's behind in lane can still rely on stacks to help late game, so it's best to stay on guard. Recommended summoners are either Barrier or Ignite.

I didn't mention Zed since he's a pretty hit or miss champion to play, but his ult is what sets him apart from other mid laners. The ability to go untargetable with his Death Mark is unreliable, but still really good if you can pull it off. This matchup boils down to how good you are at Zed. Recommended summoner is Ignite, but Cleanse wouldn't be bad either. Generally his shadows should save him from the stun zone, but it won't always be up to save you.

Lux is iffy, but she has the superior spell range to poke Veigar down. The best counterplay involves maxing her Lucent Singularity. This ensures the most damage out of max range poke, and good wave clear for if and when Veigar pushes up and your jungler won't help mid. Again, this matchup depends on the skill of the player. Recommended summoner spell is Barrier, but Cleanse is viable too.

Those are, just from my experience, champions that I think have an easier time against Veigar than most.
