End of lines are grey with vim and zsh

I use vim and ZSH. When I open a document, the background seems to not be correct at the end of each lines as you can see here :

enter image description here

I tried with different colorscheme and it do the same thing. It works with bash.

What is the solution?

These visual problems usually occur when Vim cannot fully control the terminal: Basic stuff like screen updates work, but things that are handled differently in different terminals (like setting the background color) do not.

Check and compare the values for $TERM in bash and zsh; it's likely the latter one is wrong. You shouldn't hard-code them in a startup file like ~/.bashrc; instead, this variable should be set by your terminal emulator(s). This way, you can also work when you connect remotely via a different terminal emulator (e.g. PuTTY on Windows).
