Zombies have no memories of their previous lives if created by this spell. If, for example a Basque necromancer animates the bodies of English sailors washed ashore, there is no language barrier. They retain no physical skills possessed in life. No real evidence for this imprint.
And IIRC, the Zombie spell as of GURPS Undead could be used to animate things that resembled dead bodies, ie statues and mannequines and scarecrows. NO POSSIBLE IMPRINT in those cases whatsoever.
