Bail was not applied for and all three were remanded in custody.
Hamilton and Smith will reappear in the same court on April 23 and June 3, respectively.
The boy will appear in the Children's Court on June 10.
They have also been charged with entering a dwelling with intent, attempted robbery with violence, possession of shortened firearms and unlawful use of a motor vehicle.
Police believe the trio didn't know Dr Zeng and robbery was likely to be the motive behind his killing.
Dr Zeng was allegedly shot once in the chest while his wife and two adult daughters were inside the home.
He was taken in a critical condition to Princess Alexandra Hospital where he died.
