during every survival event, which takes place in feburary, you can be infected to become a zombie. once the infection runs it's course, you will gain a skin to wear anytime you want.
to unlock zombie skins, you need to participate in the Survival event and be 'infected' with a zombie virus. Survival takes place in february, around valentine's day, so the next one will likely be in about two months.
once you've progressed to the last stage of an infection, that zombie skin will be unlocked in your wardrobe and you can put it on and take it off from the skins tab in the wardrobe.
since you're new and therefore haven't participated in Survival before, you will have to wait until then to get a zombie skin.
