Try the following in ur .zshrc

_print_pwd () {
     wd=`pwd | sed -re \\\'s-^\\\'$HOME\\\'-~-g\\\'`
     echo -n %B
     echo -n $wd | sed -re \\\'s-/([^/])([^/]*)-/\\\\1-g\\\'
     [[ $wd == \\\'~\\\' ]] || echo -n $wd | sed -re \\\'s-.*/[^/]([^/]*$)-\\\\1-\\\'
     echo -n %b
}

setopt prompt_subst
PROMPT=$(echo \\\'%{33[36m%}%n> %{33[0m%}\\\')
RPROMPT=$(echo \\\'%{33[32m%}(\\\' \\\"\\\\`_print_pwd\\\\`\\\" \\\')%{33[0m%} %?\\\')
