Definitely right! Since 'mosh' exists, working with a laptop
from different places on the same surviving connection (on
screen of course) is a lot easier than before. :-)
Except if the laptop reboots, for which you still ned screen.

But, may be the answer to the original Subject, is as simple as:

If you have the wrong login-shell and can not change it,
you eighter set the SHELL Variable in your startup files,
or you put 'shell /usr/bin/zsh' into your '~/.screenrc'.
In both cases all Screen-Windows run with 'zsh'.
