What should I use?
The zombie infestation sim sound like a rather simple multi-agent system. Take a look here for some advice. The explanation is very easy to understand.
You will need to be a somewhat decent programmer, however.

Start with working out sequences of actions needed for the different behaviors (investigate FSM finite state machines)
The logic you describe can be done with only simple AI -- if-then logic to check the conditions that trigger a response to a situation (a simple linear set of tests with the highest priorities first) which then start the behavior sequences which last for a while and then reevaluate the situation to change the behavior.
Instead of cubes for the 'human' objects use Billboards (yahoo that term with the keyword '3D'), then you can draw/copy pictures of proper poses representing the actions being taken (to offer better visual representation).
