Do you have natural gas heating? Natural gas has an odor added to it to warn users if it is leaking. That would have access to the vent system and although unlikely, worth having it checked if the problem has continued with no other identified cause.
I would check the air handling unit for mold on the evaporator coil, or for an overflowing condensate drain pan inside the unit. Do you regularly add vinegar or flush out the condensate drain pipe? I would also remove the ceiling return air grilles to check for dirt, mold, or moisture.
