Zsh/urxvt terminal title? [SOLVED!]

Question

I'm using urxvt(c) as my terminal emulator, and my shell is zsh.
What do I need to add to my .zshrc to set the title to the current command (plus arguments) when a command is run, and back to 'urxvt' when it finishes? The solution in this thread didn't work.
My current .zshrc:
# Lines configured by zsh-newuser-install
HISTFILE=~/.bash_history
HISTSIZE=8192
SAVEHIST=8192
setopt appendhistory notify
unsetopt beep
setopt autocd
bindkey -e
# End of lines configured by zsh-newuser-install
# The following lines were added by compinstall
zstyle :compinstall filename '/home/james/.zshrc'
autoload -Uz compinit
compinit
# End of lines added by compinstall
autoload -U colors && colors
PS1="%{$fg[cyan]%}%n%{$reset_color%}@%{$fg[green]%}%m%{$reset_color%} [%{$fg_bold[white]%}%~%{$reset_color%}]%# "
export EDITOR=nano
# Key Bindings #
#urxvt
bindkey "\e[2~" quoted-insert
bindkey "\e[7~" beginning-of-line
bindkey "\e[3~" delete-char
bindkey "\e[8~" end-of-line
#Screen, ConnectBot, etc.
bindkey "\e[1~" beginning-of-line
bindkey "\e[4~" end-of-line
bindkey "\e[5~" up-line-or-history
bindkey "\e[6~" down-line-or-history
export PATH=$PATH:~/.local/bin
alias userctl='systemctl --user'

This is how I set my title at the moment, the script is not mine.
Variables found here:#Prompt_variables
This one shows  'date@tty/nr' so today '14-05-06@pts/4'
When I run xcalc from cli, the title shows: [qinohe@dryad]  @ (xcalc)
Thanks! It'll take a bit of fiddling to get it to be right for me, but this provides exactly the starting point I needed!
If anyone wants it, here's my completion:
case $TERM in
termite|*xterm*|rxvt|rxvt-unicode|rxvt-256color|rxvt-unicode-256color|(dt|k|E)term)
precmd () { print -Pn "\e]0;Terminal\a" }
preexec () { print -Pn "\e]0;$1\a" }
screen|screen-256color)
precmd () {
print -Pn "\e]83;title \"$1\"\a"
print -Pn "\e]0;$TERM\a"
preexec () {
print -Pn "\e]83;title \"$1\"\a"
print -Pn "\e]0;$TERM - $1\a"
esac
