If you just need for different user's histories not to mix, methyl solution is fine.

If you don't trust other people using your machine and need full privacy on it, don't allow anyone else than you with root privileges on your machine.

Even using a shell that doesn't record the command history by design or by configuration isn't going to prevent a user with root privileges to monitor what you are typing in real time and store all commands you are executing somewhere.
