Zombie's are the easiest mob to avoid and combat, but they have the hardest hitting attack outside of a creeper explosion, and are the second fastest mob. Plus, there needs to be some relatively generic enemy, might as well be the zombie.

This. Any mob is easy to escape on a flat plain, but zombies can be horrifyingly strong in large numbers, especially if you're backed up into a corner
Zombies are fine as they are. Every game has an enemy that is easier to kill than the others. Zombies are the easy foe for Minecraft. If you want the game to be harder (and I would like that as well) maybe you should be asking for a new hostile MOB. You want to have a reason to fear zombies? Maybe one out of every 100 zombies (like the spider-riding skeletons) is a special kind of zombie that has some kind of advantage.
But really I think zombies should just be left alone and we get some other kind of hostile MOB. I'd like to see an aquatic hostile... like a shark.
To make them a difficult mob to fight... give them lunge, nona-tuple (is that even a word? I mean multiply their spawn numbers by 9) their spawn rate, and give them slight health regen.

Also increase their speed a bit and can see you from a distance.
Or make different zombies - some with the strength of chickens but the running and attacking speed and evasion of one on crack, and one that's half the speed of the current zombie but will cut you down in 3 seconds flat.

Actually, that's the best mental image ever. A dying, drowning man stuffing his face from a massive wall of cake, and carving out a monstrous underwater cake picture. I'd pay to watch that irl.

To make zombies harder just have them travel in packs.
Once when I was deep in a cave I got attacked by a swarm of around 6 zombies. Not much you can do when they circle you and start beating you from every direction...

I want to see some type of airborne menace. A flaming bird of prey, slicing through the sky and hunting you endlessly.
I read either a suggestion or an actual thought from one of the dev's that there might be an occasional 'Red Moon" where tons of zombies spawn, and they can break blocks.

There's some wood in my pants,
I've been saving for you.
It would be an interesting challenge if zombies carried diseases. Maybe each time you get hit by one you'd have a 5% chance of being infected. Diseases mights affect things like your walking speed or carrying capacity, and you'd have to craft some kind of medicine to cure yourself. Maybe Notch could retcon mushroom soup to serve the purpose.
About x2 of their usual speed and allow them to jump 2 blocks high while maintaining their speed . Along with adding a life-steal attack from their attacks , and the ability to ' feast ' on other dead animals [ corpses ] .
I would add them the hability to have regenerating health (2 heart a second?), poison and a bit more speed.
I'm asking you, as a friend... Just...put an end to me.
Well, they ARE zombies after all.
...
NO. well, yeah, but they were useless before that too.
Wich is why it doesn't make sense; zombies decompose, they don't regenerate…

OT: Since Notch seems to have made them typical zombies, I say make more spawn at a given time. One zombie is nothing. A hoard, on the other hand...
Now , that's Hitler .
