There's also DayZ which is a mod for...Arma II? It's planning to release as a standalone game as well. Never played it, but it looks fun and seems to have all around good reviews.

Zombie... MMO?
Left 4 Dead series is not a MMO.
The closest thing that even resembles a zombie MMO would be DayZ and WarZ.
If you means zombie shooters in general, there's not a lot out recently that made any waves (besides DayZ and WarZ).

This, I've never seen a zombie mmo
If you just mean zombie games in general, try The Walking Dead

You can't really go beyond what the zombie apocalypse has which is probably the reason why you can't have zombie MMOs. It gets too unrealistic if you just give zombies or players more HP or more "Damage", or make zombies not die instantly from certain weapons that would normally disintegrate them on contact. It wouldn't be a zombie virus if they started turning into things that don't pertain to the human body. Resident Evil 6 might be an exception since the "T-virus" isn't necessarily mutating just human genes and the corporation who made it proabbly add some animal mutant DNA in the mix as well which is why some infected in there have crab arms (or are crab humanoids). The whole Massively Multiplayer thing doesn't make sense as well: it's the apocalypse. There's not a lot of people left in the world, and there's a lot more zombies than there is players. Sure there'd be a refuge of people, but that doesn't mean the population count is over 10,000 or something. Also: story/context-wise, it would get dull and boring. NPCs would give the same reasons why zombies are about, and you're not actively hunting zombies or anything, you're trying to survive it to get to the other side of the apocalypse where there are no zombies at all.
It's not that I wouldn't find a Zombie MMO fun and interesting, it just loses the whole fantasy setting of it being real which zombie games try to incorporate you in.

"MMO" can apply to any game with a large online playerbase, it doesn't necessarily have to have the whole 'skills', 'leveling' etc, to make it an MMO. (only going by my personal interpretation or opinion of 'MMO' "Massively Multiplayer Online") MMORPG on the other hand, is more specific.
Anyway, the only 2 Zombie/Survival games that really fit an 'MMO' are DayZ, and the upcoming WarZ (except with DayZ, most time spent is avoiding players not interacting with them. Probably a better experience playing with friends. Not sure what WarZ will be like). Besides that, most zombie games are mainly co-op (L4D/2 for example) when it comes to Multiplayer :P

Meh, doesn't really have to be an MMO, just a multiplayer zombie survival game.
