zsh can run pretty much any POSIX command unaltered but there are definitely some of the more advanced features in zsh interactive use you couldn't just copy into a bash script without modification (a lot of the globbing stuff comes to mind).

There are also some subtleties that make it unwise to test if a command in a bash script behaves exactly as desired in zsh instead of bash, particularly around sub shells and undefined variables.
