Ouch!  Why didn't you ask sooner?

Emacs 19.29 or thereabouts stopped using a terminal type of "emacs"
in shell buffers, and instead sets it to "dumb".  Zsh only kicks in
its special I'm-inside-emacs initialization when the terminal type
is "emacs".

Placing a

(setenv "TERM" "emacs")

in your ~/.emacs file seems to fix this.  If that confuses other programs
that are run from within emacs, you can instead use

(setenv "ESHELL" "~/bin/eshell")

and then put "TERM=emacs exec zsh" in the file ~/bin/eshell.
