If you are using the desktop shortcut the Cygwin installer created for
you, you can edit c:\cygwin\cygwin.bat and change the line that starts
bash.

I used to use rxvt through a shortcut with a following command:
c:\cygwin\bin\run.exe rxvt.exe -e /bin/bash --login

This could easily be changed to run zsh instead

Currently I'm using mintty with a shortcut like this:
c:\cygwin\bin\mintty -

This starts the shell in /etc/password. Again, it should be trivial to
change /etc/password or invoke zsh explicitly in the shortcut

Disclaimer: I haven't tried any of this with zsh (: I'm sticking to bash :)
