I have the following settings in ~/.emacs:

(setq linum-relative-current-symbol "")
(linum-mode)
(linum-relative-global-mode)
(global-hl-line-mode t)

In order to supress both these features in terminal, I added the following to ~/.emacs:

(add-hook 'term-mode-hook (lambda () (linum-mode -1)))
(add-hook 'term-mode-hook (lambda () (hl-line-mode -1)))

Now when I M-x term RET /bin/zsh RET, it produces an unusable terminal. See the image below:

As you can see, it still uses line numbers and highlights the current line.

What am I doing wrong? How do I set things right?

For anyone who is wondering about the variable linum-relative-current-symbol which is not included with a base installation of Emacs, here is a link to the library that the OP is likely using: emacswiki.org/emacs/linum-relative.el It loads the built-in linum.el library, which the OP probably has enabled globally. The question is really about how to make the built-in global linum-mode buffer-local, or turn off linum-mode (enabled globally) for term-mode buffers. – lawlist Nov 23 '17 at 19:12
