The problem is solved :-)

Here are my configurations:

10.0.0

I just but the same options under .zshrc and the AcceptEnv LANG LC_*  
under sshd. I restarted the sshd demon and "voila!" :-)

Works mutt, irssi (through screen without -U flag) and everything else  
I cheched out with proper UTF-8 support.
