Just like you have ‘home-bash-service-type’, you would add (probably in
place of ‘home-bash-service-type’) something like:
(service home-zsh-service-type)
or, if you have custom config:
(service home-zsh-service-type
(home-zsh-configuration
(environment-variables '(("FORTYTWO" . "42")))))
Note that you still need to arrange so that you user shell is zsh, for
instance by invoking ‘chsh’: that part is not up to Guix Home.

That I don’t know.

It’s a good idea to do that, it helps check if everything would work as
intended.
HTH!
