If you really want to **** the vampire off, yes you can call them a zombie.
As ericthered said a few posts later, undead are more archetypes, but if you can't find an archetype fit (known or otherwise), then you call it the closest thing.
So if someone didn't know what a vampire was, but knew the creature was undead, its a zombie.
Undead for the most part have 3 types with many variations within the type.
Fleshy undead are all "zombies" which can be mummy, vampire, ghoul, various types of actual zombie
Skeletal undead are all "skeletons"
Intangible undead are all "ghosts"
