This is absolutely fascinating!
In essence, you're postulating that a Zombie is nothing more than a mobile virus hive. We can call them MVHs. (I like acronyms.) You're theory also seems to maintain that when a virus replicates itself within the host cells, it would create different varieties in order to operate various functions. I would theorize that a second queen would not be reproduced within the host other than to pass into a new victim. Since the virus is passed through a Zombie bite, it is possible a new queen virus is prepared in cells unique in the mouth.
This definitely requires additional study and perhaps an entire new field of specialists. What we need now is something of a Zombie dentist to extract a tooth from the undead and study the cellular properties.
I wonder if these new dentists would require hazard pay?
