The pair unsettled the Zimbabwean bowlers, who gave them too much width in a 97-run stand for the third wicket.
Younis faced 90 balls for his 81, smashing six boundaries and a six before hitting straight back to bowler Kyle Jarvis, who took a low catch in the 41st over.
Shafiq stroked three fours and a six from 72 balls to reach 51 before he was stumped by wicketkeeperTatendaTaibu off Ray Price's flighted delivery.
Elton Chigumbura bowled with consistent line and length to claim 2-36, removing opener ImranFarhat (37) and ShoaibMalik (14).
Zimbabwe's opening bowlers Brian Vitori and Jarvis struggled for rhythm in their opening spell but recovered in the batting powerplay to help stem Pakistan's run flow.
Pakistan has already wrapped up the series by winning the first two matches.
