Zombies require a whole lot of concessions to be a challenge to the apex predator of planet earth. Keep in mind that humans, despite having poor physical abilities, no natural protection or weaponry and requiring long periods to mature nonetheless have dominated every other species, eradicated all competition, and literally changed the planet to suit them.
A sack of decaying flesh that relies on biting to spread an infection is pretty low on the threats faced scale. Heck, the earliest humans faced starvation, infection, and predators much more capable and flourished.
