Pizza "rabies zombies" a.k.a. "spitters" are one type that I forgot to list. For them, my advice is to wear biohazard masks or some makeshift mask with the same purpose to protect from spitting, and be a little more fully clothed than with other mentioned types, including gloves in case the virus can be transmitted through the skin.
While ancient and/or alien artifacts or curses can have similar results to zombies, I don`t actually consider them true zombies. I believe viral zombies are the only true zombie. The rest are just various forms of undead, which would take many, many hours for me to cover all of.
The Abomination is less likely as evolution inside of corpses would be greatly limited if not impossible. Unless the "source" is a living RMZ which is capable of sending signals into attachments to use as it`s own limbs (which is possible as dead bodies can be re-animated using electricity, which was proven many decades ago), it would be impossible. However, even if it was possible, it would be highly unlikely if for no other reason than because it is beneficial to the survival of their kind. If it "uses" corpses, said corpses can not then be used as food nor improve their numbers. It would actually be destructive to them and provide little additional gain to the individual Abomination as it would still only have the strength of the limbs it was stealing, which it could just as easily have by evolving what matter it already has. Still, as I said to tpe, expecting the unexpected is essential to survival. :)
