I think you're underestimating them. Zombie have the potential to rule the world and become Earth's dominant species. Depending on a lot of variables, of course.
And Vampires are much more powerful than Zombies. Strength, intelligence, speed, agility, etc., etc. Their only flaws are Sunlight, possibly Silver, and being Staked through the heart. And then there are means of killing any otherworldly being that apply to all beasts such as the aforementioned.
- Decapitation - Incineration - Dismemberment (Usually) - Destruction of the brain

No, it's too easy to kill them, and they don't have the intelligence to fight back in the same ways as we do. They don't stand a chance against regular humans, or even vampires.
If a vampire bites a zombie, does the zombie become a vampire?
What if a vampire bites a werewolf? Does the werewolf become part werewolf and part vampire, or does it just become a vampire; or does it stay a werewolf? Do we know the answer to questions like these?
Strongest falls between Zombies and Vampires. Truly depends on what folklore you base it of of. In anAccording to the tenets of Vodou, a dead person can be revived by a bokor, or sorcerer. Zombies remain under the control of the bokor since they have no will of their own. "Zombi" is also another name of the Vodou snake lwa Damballah Wedo, of Niger-Congo origin; it is akin to the Kikongo word nzambi, which means "god". There also exists within the West African Vodun tradition the zombi astral, which is a part of the human soul that is captured by a bokor and used to enhance the bokor's power. The zombi astral is typically kept inside a bottle which the bokor can sell to clients for luck, healing or business success. It is believed that after a time God will take the soul back and so the zombi is a temporary spiritual entity.
The notion of vampirism has existed for millennia; cultures such as the Mesopotamians, Hebrews, Ancient Greeks, and Romans had tales of demons and spirits which are considered precursors to modern vampires. However, despite the occurrence of vampire-like creatures in these ancient civilizations, the folklore for the entity we know today as the vampire originates almost exclusively from early 18th century South-eastern Europe,[8] when oral traditions of many ethnic groups of the region were recorded and published. In most cases, vampires are revenants of evil beings, suicide victims, or witches, but they can also be created by a malevolent spirit possessing a corpse or by being bitten by a vampire. Belief in such legends became so pervasive that in some areas it caused mass hysteria and even public executions of people believed to be vampires.
Werewolves on the other hand. are no fun, and thus i leave thm out.
