That reverse-video % indicates an output that did not end with a newline:

/home/ekalin $ echo 'Hello, World'
Hello, World
/home/ekalin $ echo -n 'Hello, World'
Hello, World%
/home/ekalin $

So there must be something that's outputting a line without a newline. If it happens in every prompt, it should be in your prompt definition; if it happens only on session startup, it should be something from ~/.zshrc (or in a file sourced from there).
