In ZSH -p doesn't mean prompt as in Bash. See man zshbuiltins:

   read [ -rszpqAclneE ] [ -t [ num ] ] [ -k [ num ] ] [ -d delim ]
   (...)
   -p     Input is read from the coprocess.

To get a prompt with ZSH implementation of read:

$ read "?Enter your name: " NAME
Enter your name: myname
$ echo $NAME
myname
