Both considered post-punk, however.

To be fair, Zep and Stones are both Blues rock from the same era, only they don't sound alike at all. five Stones albums, all Zeppelin albums, and I've never heard a Stones song that sounds like Zeppelin or a Zep song like Stones. Same for Clapton. The fact that the two bands you mentioned are different just means they have their own style, even if they're a part of the same genre/movement.
As far as post-punk goes, it pretty much sounds to me like what I said already: a slightly atmospheric style of rock incorporating punk sounds with less speed and restriction, and more emotion.
