Zombies vs. animals? The living dead wouldn't stand a chance

Birds would probably avoid moving humanoids, despite their smell, and the zombies would probably fight back if attacked. Bears, wolves, coyotes etc, tend to stay away from population centers, so a few zombies might get taken out, but the vast majority would be ok, at least until nature reclaims the cities. Beetles, maggots, bacteria etc. are the only realistic threat here. I have no answer for that one.
