What are you trying to achieve with this script? And a quick search shows the correct usage of spawn(), "Spawn is used to run a function in a separate thread without yielding the current one. It will run simultaneously with the rest of the tasks, but won’t delay/affect the main thread." If you are trying to 'spawn' a zombie into the game you would clone it to the workspace(which you have done), and then set it's position to wherever you want it to appear.

EDIT: there would be at least two ways to make it 'spawn' you would either specify the position it should be at, like this

view source
1Zombie = game.ServerStorage.Zombie
2cz = Zombie:Clone()
3cz.Parent = game.Workspace
4cz.UpperTorso.Position = Vector3.new(0, 0, 0)

Or, you could set a block in the workspace that is invisible and has can collide off, and you would do something like this

view source
1Zombie = game.ServerStorage.Zombie
2cz = Zombie:Clone()
3cz.Parent = game.Workspace
4cz.UpperTorso.Position = workspace.czspawn.Position

If you have any other problems or questions just let me know

No, that is not how you use it. It is used to spawn functions while going on with the script. Their most common use is with while true do loops, like this one:

view source
01local function doLoop()
02    while true do
03        print("Hello World!")
04        wait()
05    end
06end
07 
08spawn(doLoop)
09 
10while true do
11    print("Bob")
12    wait()
13end

Both while true do's will run.
