Probably the easiest thing to do is
  \newcommand{\Z}{{\bf Z}}
or
  \def\Z{\bf Z}

Probably the hardest sensible thing to do is to write an abbrev hook which
turns {\Bf Z} to {\bf Z}, and install that hook in edit-abbrevs.  I haven't
done this kind of thing recently, but it was easy after a bit of tinkering.
