This code

print -- ${(l:COLUMNS::─:)}

Prints this line

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

Note: The character (─) is a box drawing character, not a hyphen. Also, COLUMNS is a zsh parameter whose value is the width of the terminal. You could replace that with a specific width, e.g., 80.
