Stefan Zweig was Austrian?
I didn't know that.
( But... I'd still say Kafka would be the most famous from this list.)

Most certainly, I just thought it would be a matter of minutes that someone shows up and says that he was born in Prague
So I also put some authors on the list that publicized in Austria-proper (Zweig, Schnitzler), during the 1st Republic (Roth) and more contemporary authors (Jelinek, Bernhard).
Nowadays thanks to the films, the Lord of the Rings seems to be more famous as a book (or trilogy of books depending on which version you buy) from England than A Tale of Two Cities even though there have been many more sales of Charles Dickens' masterpiece.
