All you need to do is replace zsh provided format strings to that of
similar bash escape sequences. For example, zsh '%n' (for
username) corresponds to bash '\u', '%~' to '\w', and so on.
I personally put the color, bold, normal, etc. sequences in a
separate file, which is sourced inside the file setting prompt.
That gives less of gobbledygook to parse. For zsh, i have somewhere
in ~/.zshrc ...
# http://www103.pair.com/parv/comp/unix/cf/sh/var/colors
. ~/cf/sh/var/colors
case $TERM in
*xterm* | *rxvt* )
PS1="# ?:%? %j %l ${bold}${yellow_fg}%~${normal}${normal}"
PS1="$PS1 %n.${bold}${cyan_fg}%m${normal}${normal}"
PS1="
$PS1 (%D{%a %b%d %I%M})
#! "
export PS1
;;
* )
PS1="# %j %n@%m %l ${bold}%3~${normal}
# "
export PS1
;;
esac
... similar thing is done for bash prompt.
