I think most “undead” type zombies handwave that sort of stuff away as part of the powers that animate them in the first place. It’s only really an issue for “virus” type zombies.

That’s a sub trope that makes me wonder: why animate a corpse when animating the skeleton alone achieves the same purposes? For visual impact?
And even in magic universes, physics still afects everything. Frost freezes the undead, heat cinzes their flesh, etc.
