Not all Zombie viruses can kill other animals (not all are the same), and the Giant Short Faced Bear Would eat rotting meat. It did not matter if the dead animal was fresh or not: anything would be fair game. Sloth Bears eat dead critters in India today. And plus, some Zombies are freshly dead as well (A Zombie can be either freshly turned into one or have been one for years).

My Information comes from the following:
