If zvt negotiate TERM="xterm" that above behavior is completly correct
because xterm is native mono termina (look at X11R6 xterm documentation).
If You want You can hack zvt for negotiating TERM="xterm-color" instead.

If You don't belive that xterm is mono terminal than run:

$ TERM=xterm tput colors
$ TERM=xterm-color tput colors

and look at terminfo(5) and check what informations cares colors terminal
sequence.
