That's only in sh or ksh compatibility mode.

As Eric Cook already pointed out, the display manager sources
~/.profile for you when you login, but that doesn't happen in the
console, you need to source ~/.profile from ~/.zprofile.
I actually created a video going step by step on how to create a
proper configuration [1], and I also maintain a very simple
configuration that should be generic enough for everyone [2].
Cheers.
