I believe you can get the needed data with the 'series' flag and
corresponding uuseries or uvseries files. I have used this for classifying
hbond interactions between solute and membrane headgroups before although
I'm not sure how easy it will be for water-water since there doesn't seem
to be a solvent-solvent series flag directly available so you may have to
do a bit of leg work to get cpptraj to print out a series for that.

For example, using:
hbond out test_hb.out.dat :1,WAT solventdonor :WAT solventacceptor :WAT
series uuseries test_hb.uuseries.dat uvseries test_hb.uvseries.dat
on a small protein trajectory I have on hand yields uvseries:
#Frame GLU_1.OY-V GLU_1.HN-V GLU_1.OE2-V GLU_1.OE1-V GLU_1.O-V
  GLU_1.N-V
       1 2 1 3 4 1
          0
       2 1 0 3 3 0
          0
       3 1 0 4 2 2
          0
       4 2 1 3 2 1
          0
       5 2 1 3 4 2
          0
...

So this gives the total hbond contacts between each site on GLU1 and any
nearby :WAT sites. So for solvet-solute this is everything you would need
(with a bit of fenagling in R, python, etc to frame-wise aggregate over
each solute). Unfortunately, I'm not sure how you could get an equivalent
output for solvent-solvent. The resulting file could easily be quite
enormous since each water would occupy 4 columns ( two donor sites and two
acceptor sites each). E.g. if you had ten thousand water atoms, the maximum
potential memory usage becomes bounded as storage of a 40000 x 40000 x
nFrames array... that could take hundreds of terabytes worth of memory.
Assuming you can do so, however, you could frame-wise sum over all four
hbond sites for each water molecule to yield the total number of hbonds for
each individual water molecule at each frame.
