According to Eivind Eklund:

Zsh has the %{...%} construct too so you don't need to use chpwd().
PS1="%{\033]2;%n@%M:%/ - %l\007\033]1;%l@%m\007%}%h [%T] %B%n%b@%m:%B%.2%#%b "
That give you the same prompt as I get under tcsh.
What makes me reluctant to switch from tcsh to zsh is that tcsh has always
succeeded in keeping the tty state clean whereas I still have a messed up
tty sometimes under zsh.
Feature for feature, zsh == tcsh although zsh has some neat things like you
said (filename matching, decent quoting and redirection and so on).
Extracted from tcsh(1):
Terminal management (+)
The shell uses three different sets of terminal (``tty'')
modes: `edit', used when editing, `quote', used when quot-
ing literal characters, and `execute', used when executing
commands. The shell holds some settings in each mode con-
stant, so commands which leave the tty in a confused state
do not interfere with the shell. The shell also matches
changes in the speed and padding of the tty. The list of
tty modes that are kept constant can be examined and modi-
fied with the setty builtin. Note that although the edi-
tor uses CBREAK mode (or its equivalent), it takes typed-
ahead characters anyway.
The echotc, settc and telltc commands can be used to
manipulate and debug terminal capabilities from the com-
mand line.
