If you mean the VIRTUAL_ENV variable, it's set in one of the activation scripts
for the venv. In any case, this doesn't look it it's a problem with venv code,
more to do with your local enviro

Actually, the virtual_info appears to be a function within the theme, that does
the following
function virtualenv_info {
[ $VIRTUAL_ENV ] && echo '('%F{blue}`basename $VIRTUAL_ENV`%f') '

Hi,
Apologies for the delays in returning to you.

Operative system is OS X 10.15.3 (19D76) Catalina

Can you please add a reproducer of the steps along with the operating system
and python version? The --prompt was modified in 3.9 to accept "." so that the
current folder name is used in issue38901.
# Use custom name as testing for the prompt

New submission from Andrea :
In creating a new virtual environment, the help suggest a --prompt argument to
specify a different name by the time the environment is active.

The argument is apparently ignored as the folder name always appears instead
