I got this to work.  It assumes your zsh is recent enough that (i) you have
hook functions and the add-zsh-hook function --- else you need to use
precmd (ii) "jobs" works in the left hand side of a pipeline --- else
you need to use a temporary file.

precmd_disown() {
  emulate -L zsh
  setopt extendedglob
  local job match mbegin mend

  jobs | while read job; do
    if [[ $job = \[(#b)([[:digit:]]##)\]*running* ]]; then
      disown %$match[1]
    fi
  done
}
autoload -U add-zsh-hook
add-zsh-hook precmd precmd_disown
