Zombies spawn in the dark, any dark area, including enclosed areas and during thunderstorms, and burn in the day (unless they're wearing helmets). This has been the intended functionality of zombies since their spawning algorithms were introduced.
Hints to why if you read surviving your first night, it say get torches.
This bug report is about the size of the area
Zombies spawn in every dark area ... even in extremely small spaces. This is not a bug, it worked like this even back in Minecraft Alpha.
They shouldn't spawn that close to a player, they spawned like 1 block away from me.
It doesn't look for player proximity... only that the player is in the chunk. I've had skeletons and Creepers spawn directly infront of me in caves dating back to minecraft v 1.4.5 or 6... the rule they do follow related to proximity is that they can't spawn on a block the player is ocupying... but the adjacent block(s) is fair game.
According to the wiki:
Unfortunatley you cannot quote a wiki as it is not held protected or monitored by mojang. Anyone can post... and if thats the case the 2 creepers that spawned withing 30 seconds of eachother, 5 blocks in front of me with no spawners around will say otherwise to the above
conclusion: Zombie's can spawn everywhere
