Read the Tramp manual (info "(tramp) Frequently Asked Questions")

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
          When using zsh on remote hosts, disable zsh line editor
          because zsh uses left-hand side and right-hand side prompts in
          parallel.  Add the following line to ‘~/.zshrc’:

               [[ $TERM == "dumb" ]] && unsetopt zle && PS1='$ ' && return
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
