I had a small leak in the plumbing behind the shower.  It gradually 
built up a mold smell until I could not stand it.  I fixed the 
plumbing leak then cut a 6" x 6" hole in the wall behind the shower - 
from the adjacent bedroom.  I was going to rent an ozone generator 
from a local rental place but I thought I might need it for several 
days and they wanted like $50 a day for it.  I borrowed the ozone 
generator from my hot tub and fashioned a set up with some cardboard 
and a small fan so it would blow ozone into the wall.  I let this run 
for three days straight and it fixed the problem completely.  As 
someone else mentioned, if it is a serious mold problem, the 
sheetrock probably needs to be removed, the studs cleaned and dried 
out and new sheetrock installed.
