Undead stuff doesn't really work at the moment, they use a HP system and just disappear and give no credit for the kills. Luckily for us, armies of undead things clamoring for the booze-soaked flesh of our dwarves is just what Toady is working on for next release!! YAAAAAY! :D
The new ones will be far more in-depth, and presumably aren't just going to disappear like that.
Check the dev-log, too.

If you do an instant kill attack (like cutting off the lower body or jamming the skull through the brain) you get credit, though. At least that's what I've heard.

That is what happens, i play around a lot with arena mode and make up my own scenarios where there's a million zombies, except, about 10 guys with even iron or bronze or things like that own zombies.
Even if you had a miner with a copper pick he could probably take down 50 by himself, at least in arena mode.
I'm also not liking disappearing zombies, but you can cut their heads off and they don't disappear.
I hope zombies are more strong than in this current version.

Me too. I hope the zombies will tear my guts out.

I have longed for stronger zombies since I played DF.

I think ts been confirmed that Zombies leave corpses, since they can be re-animated by Necromancer. However, I don't think they can repair corpses, so a zombie that has been cut in half won't really be as much of a threat.

Imagine being chased by the lower half!

*tears up* I LOVE YOU, DF!
