I defined my zeus-task (having both jars in my project's lib-dir) with

    <taskdef name="zeus"
        classname="org.enhydra.zeus.util.ZeusTask">
        <classpath>
            <pathelement path="${build.lib}/zeus.jar" />
            <pathelement path="${build.lib}/dtdparser114.jar" />
        </classpath>
    </taskdef>
and use it -ant version 1.4.1- like this (all the properties are defined
somewhere before or as arguments of an antcall-task):

    <target name="zeus">
        <zeus sourceDir="${build.xmls}" destDir="${build.sources}">
            <constraint type="${zeus.type}"
                    javaPackage="${zeus.package}"
                    constraintFile="${zeus.root}.${zeus.type}" />
        </zeus>
    </target>

And it works quite well!
