Found myself near zombie AI character. Even though I backed away from the zombie (if it were measureable, I would say 10 feet), the attack still hit me. At this time, I had no armor, just spawned in a server, only had a crowbar for a weapon.

Edit Number One: reproduction of the issue seems to be random, at best. It isn't consistent. Sometimes, you can be at a greater distance, and the attack will hit. Other times, it will not. Maybe this has to do with proximity of attack in the zombie AI.

*running on experimental server
will run further tests to confirm consistency of detected issue
*Thank you for reading :)

Note: This may have to do with a preference rather than a bug. From my experience thus far, close attacks (being right next to a zombie) hit the player, attacks that seem far enough away still hit sometimes. For example, when it looks like a zombie's arms swing right in front of you, it should miss, right? Doesn't seem to. Granted, I understand it is a brutal game, but zombie arms aren't 5 feet long.

P.S. Maybe I'm bitter that 5 zombies ganged up on me.
