My solution for ANY odor problem big or small, is vanilla extract. Soak cotton ball in vanilla extract and place them around the room. Vanilla is a natural odor absorber.
Good luck!

Sounds like you could have mold or mildew hiding behind your
walls, floor or ceiling.
Try to determine if you have a plumbing leak or some other means by which water is leaking anywhere in the bathroom. An Enviromental Services company can help by sending a camera probe behind your walls to look around.
If the bath is on a lower level above a crawl space, you may have the smell comming up from down there.
It could also be sewer gases from a vent pipe in the wall.
So many things it could be.
