In "Bridle Gossip," Spike was aware enough of zombie-apocalypse tropes to recognize that Ponyville resembled them. It's unlikely that ponies have zombie apocalypse stories, because those are all about the audience transferring their frustrations into a setting where you can shoot your boss or annoying neighbor in the face because they're zombies now, and ponies are nicer than that.
No, the likeliest explanation is that there is *historical record* of zombie outbreaks. I'm sure Celestia put them down fast, but somewhere out there, zomponies existed once.
What an excellent notion! Or possibly terrifying ...
