I know there are historians who think the concept of Satan came from the Zoroastrians but beyond that, I’ve never heard suggestions of other influence.

Mohammad borrowed a lot, from several religions.
there is definitely other things from Zorastrianism.
for example, the narrow bridge that must be crossed,
after death.
and some things, are hard to attribute, because Jews, Christians, and Zoroastrians, share many concepts.
(and none of them, terrorize and behead those of other faiths...)
My mother is Zoroastrian by birth. I agree w/ Elendur’s comment. Btw, that bridge is called Chinvat bridge (bridge of judgement). We don’t know if it is meant metaphorically or otherwise.

The concept of Angels such as Lucifer (Satan/Devil) in Zoroastrianism is not literally meant as a person or an entity.
In Z faith, there are 2 opposing concepts in Avestan language: Spenta Mainyu (positive mentality/thinking/doing/speaking) & Angra Mainyu (negative mentality/thinking/doing/speaking). We also know it as Good vs Evil.
Interestingly if we look at it in linguistic terms, Spenta can be related to “Splendid or Splendour”, whereas Angra can relate to “Angry or a state of Anger” in English.
‘Course, Avestan language as well as modern Persian have Indo-European roots. I can give you many examples of pure Persian words and their equivalents in French, German, Spanish & English - they sound very much the same & mean the same thing.
E.G., some basic words, first words below are Persian words commonly in use even now
Dokhtar = Daughter (English), Tokter (German)
Pedar (father) = Padre (Spanish), Père (French)
Baradar = Brother (English), Bruder (German)
Madar = Mother (English), Madre (Spanish), Mère (French), Mutter (German)
Nahm = Name (English), Nahme (German), Nom (French), Nombre (Spanish)
