This works for me:
(use-package-modules shells)
(users (cons (user-account
(name "admin")
(comment "")
(group "users")
(supplementary-groups '("wheel" "netdev"
"audio" "video"))
(shell #~(string-append #$zsh "/bin/zsh"))
(home-directory "/home/admin"))
%base-user-accounts))
Though I'm not yet sure how to change the root accounts shell to zsh.
Anyone know that?
