By default, nix adds following lines to /etc/zshrc

# Nix
if [ -e '/nix/var/nix/profiles/default/etc/profile.d/nix-daemon.sh' ]; then
  . '/nix/var/nix/profiles/default/etc/profile.d/nix-daemon.sh'
fi
# End Nix

However, this file can get overwritten during OS update. This happened for me when upgrading to macos 10.15.4 recently.

I suggest writing these lines to /etc/zshenv instead which is not present by default and is loaded by zsh.

As noted in NixOS#3456 the `/etc/zshenv` file provides a better place for sourcing the nix environment.
