Ravindra Jadeja smashed a six over mid wicket to take India to victory target of 164 in 34 overs. The south paw remained unbeaten on 48 off 77 balls and hammered four boundaries and two sixes.
Ajinkya Rahane, who played his first game of the series, notched up 64-ball fifty to take India closer to victory.
Malcolm Waller dismissed Rahane soon after the batsman scored a fifty. Rahane shared 71-run stand with Ravindra Jadeja to put India on course for series whitewash.
Chasing 164-run target, India lost their second wicket in the form of Shikhar Dhawan against Zimbabwe.
Kyle Jarvis struck again to dismiss Dhawan, who made 38-ball 41 with the help of six fours and a six. Dhawan also added 55-run partnership with Ajinkya Rahane for the second wicket.
Jarvis gave India an early blow by removing Cheteshwar Pujara for duck.
Earlier, leg-spinner Amit Mishra notched up a career-best six-wicket haul as Indian bowlers once again ripped through Zimbabwe, dismissing them for a paltry 163.
Opting to bowl in chilly conditions, the Indians had the home team on the mat from the very first over. Sean Williams (51) was the only Zimbabwean batsman to put up a semblance of fight before the home team's innings folded in 39.5 overs.
In reply, India were 43/1 in six overs which were bowled before the innings break. Ajinkya Rahane (7) and Shikhar Dhawan (34) were at the crease for the visitors.
India have already pocketed the five-match series, having won all the earlier four matches.
Mishra was the top wicket-taker for the visiting side with six for 48 in 8.5 overs.
Mishra also achieved a record in the process. With 18 wickets in the series, he equalled Javagal Srinath's record for most wickets in a bilateral series.
Srinath took 18 in seven games in New Zealand in 2002-03, while Mishra has taken 18 in five games.
The collapse started pretty early for Zimbabwe with opener Vusi Sibanda (5) getting caught behind the stumps by Dinesh Karthik off Jaydev Unadkat in the fourth over.
His partner Hamilton Masakadza did stay for a while and raised hopes of anchoring the innings before Ravindra Jadeja rattled his stumps. Masakadza struck a 46-ball 32 which included four boundaries.
Next man in skipper, Brendan Taylor, departed without troubling the scorer but consumed 11 balls in the process. He was caught by Suresh Raina at second slip while trying to have a go at Mohit Sharma.
Zimbabwean batsmen's parade back to pavilion continued before Williams tried his bit to stage a fightback. In his 65-ball knock, Williams picked up six boundaries, giving his teammates a lesson in how to deal with the conditions.
But Mishra brought an end to Williams' stiff resistance when the batsman tried to sweep on one knee but ended up gloving it to the first slip.
Mishra had earlier taken the crucial wicket of all-rounder Elton Chigumbura (17) who failed to replicate his half-century performance from the previous match.
Kyle Jarvis (12 not out) and Natsai M'shangwe (16) did their bit to delay the inevitable but the Indians proved simply unstoppable.
