ssh zsh and one off commnad

Hi,

I hope you can help me in this situation. The default shell on remote
machine is bash, but I would like from time to time run  a zsh command or
rather set of command in a loop.  My test command for some reason doesn't
work:

ssh remote "zsh -c 'for i (/usr/*(/)) {ls $i }'"

Every time I got output from my home directory and $i seems to be empty, I
welcome any suggestion (other than changing default script on remote
machine).

Thanks,
Wawrzek

                                            ^^
The problem is that the $i is being substituted by the local shell,
because it's in a double-quoted expression (the single quotes inside
that are not special to the local shell).  Probably putting a backslash
in front of the $ should do the trick.
