A key tactic would be to cause the ZIC to see other ZICs as the enemy. One way to do this would be to activate a terrirorial response within the zombie which would cause them to seek out and destroy any rivals. If this can be done, then you'd be dealing with one zombie instead of a horde.
If it were possible to manipulate the ZIC through whatever means would it also be possible to manipulate individual virus cells? Possibly a vaccine could be derived from approach.

As for nuking an infected area that could be hard on any survivors. Not to mention that it always seems that at least some of the zombies always manage to survive. Then you just have the same problem over again just in a different area.
