“Shield” is not an ability that creatures have and shield counters are not keyword counters. If a creature with a shield counter loses its abilities, the shield counter will still protect it as normal.
wotc
If a permanent with a shield counter is dealt unpreventable damage, that damage will be dealt and a shield counter will still be removed.
wotc
If a permanent that would be dealt damage has more than one shield counter on it, that damage is prevented and only one shield counter is removed.
