No, I would not allow a zombie minion as a Dependent, as your PC likely does not that sort of relationship with their zombie minions (*shudder*). Minions really cannot be dependents because you are free to mistreat them, which runs counter to the idea of Dependent. Now, if you want that type of relationship with a zombie (*shudder*), you can just have some sort of free willed zombie that you take as an Ally and a Dependent.
