Haven't tried zsh myself, but you can give bash tab completion
capabilities adding the following snippet to your $HOME/.bashrc file:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
if [ -f /etc/bash_completion ]; then
    . /etc/bash_completion
fi
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

See /usr/share/doc/bash/README.bash_completion.gz for details.
