zshrc is only used for interactive shells (approximately meaning when
there's a tty.)  For this kind of thing you want zshenv, or maybe
zshprofile (only run for "login" shells; I'm not sure if this counts).
 See man zsh.  Since zshenv is run for every shell  anything you do
there should be idempotent - ie you should check that the directory is
not already in the  path.
