Assuming you start bash now by clicking on the icon for cygwin.bat, simply
edit that file, and replace "bash" with "zsh".  You'll need to review the 
man page for zsh to see what are the appropriate flags to pass to get a 
login shell.  I don't have zsh installed otherwise I might give you a 
clue. ;-)
