When a plague zombie dies, it explodes in a burst of decay. All creatures adjacent to the plague zombie are exposed to its plague as if struck by a slam attack and must make a Fortitude save or contract zombie rot.

Disease (Su)
The slam attack—as well as any other natural attacks—of a plague zombie carries the zombie rot disease.

Zombie rot: slam; save Fort DC = 14; onset 1d4 days; frequency 1/day; effect 1d2 Con, this damage cannot be healed while the creature is infected; cure 2 consecutive saves. Anyone who dies while infected rises as a plague zombie in 2d6 hours.

A medium zombie gets +1 bonus hit dice, so adjust HP and saves accordingly. Saves should be 3/4/6. Good saves are 2+1/2 HD. CR goes up to 4.

what level is the party? is this supposed to be a boss fight for a really low level group or a mook for a higher level group

Level 6 - it's part of a fight that is meant to be thematically appropriate without being too tough. I want the threat of disease, a decent bruiser, and not too smart.
