In addition to those suggestions mentioned above, use baking soda.

3 things
1. Make sure you don't have a lead in the U-bend. Virtually every flushing toilet ever made, with the exception of one of the first models, has a U-bend where a small amount of water is stored after the flushing. It prevents gasses and such from getting back up through the pipes and stinking up the bathroom. If you have a leak there, and the water is leaking out, sewer smells will just waft back up.
2. Make sure you don't have a leak right under the urinal and something is leaking onto the wall where you may not think to clean or notice.
3. Try using this stuff called Approach. I use it in my bathroom all the time and it always does the trick. Spray it in the air, in the urinal, you can even pour it down the pipe a little if you want. It is the best at eliminating odors. If you spray everywhere thoroughly and a few hours later the odor returns, check the pipes. Option 1 is probably happening, or something similar to it.
Good luck!

I used to clean bathrooms as a youth and I cleaned the whole bathroom with a mop and bleach. Clean the whole bathroom, including the walls with bleachwater and a mop. If that does not help then you may need to have a plumber come by and look for plumbing problems.
