A zombie apocalypse would only occur if the virus/infection simply affected the brain into insanity and made infected have a sudden urge to eat people.
Which is possible, I'm sure.
Which means they would die just as any animal or human shot or killed by other methods. Any other theorys are biologically impossible.

This. You're supposed to headshot them because it stops them instantly, even a heart shot gives them more time, as well as being a smaller target.

virus/infection
this isn't wrong, but it's still not the best choice
having a virus replicating properly inside you means that you have a viral infection, so that's redundant, although "infection" alone would cover both viruses and bacteria, whichever it may be

also, really, any sort of behavior-altering effect is probably plausible

Fungus is the scariest because of the many ways to spread spores.

Cordyceps, the closest we are to a zombie fungus.

For real fungus is the only thing that can make any kind of mutation.

mutations are made all the time
cancer is a mutation, for example

I had a fortune cookie telling me I would die in a blaze of glory on the 21st of December.
Coincidentally, I am contestant in a hot dog eating contest on that day.
