Ireland needed Orla Prendergast’s 41 to post 180 in 48.1 overs as the hosts looked in a strong position.
But Belfast woman Murray’s devastating spell led to Zimbabwe collapsing from 59-2 to 99 all out in 10 overs.
Ireland’s 81-run victory in 30.5 overs clinched the series after they won the opener and tied game two on Sunday.
The sides will be back in action in a five-match Twenty20 series in Harare on Friday.
