Bleach shinigami will not be able to access their swords and the Zanpakuto spirit while in game. They will know that the sword/its spirit is there, but they will experience the same pain that anyone else might have in trying to reach out for a lost power. If they attempt to use their sword or speak to the Zanpakuto spirit, they'll feel the same way. As such, they won't be able to have their new power channeled through their Zanpakuto.
As for shinigami themselves, we want it clear that since they are spirits in their own right, they would have a corporeal body in game. Even so, they can feel what's there but outside of their reach, and can interpret what's happened to them in any way you might prefer.
