The "man zsh" page indicates that you want the executable script as a
command in $HOME/.zlogout. I doubt that the file will be parsed if you
exit PuTTY in the manner you state, so you should exit the zsh by typing
"exit" in the window, rather than the GUI exit you state. You'll have to
experiment to verify that behaviour.
