There are many ways to kill zombies.
Weapons
By far the most common and reliable way to kill zombies. See the Armoury for more details.
Fist Fights
At a cost of 1 
you have a low chance of killing a single zombie.
Because fist fights are frowned upon the exact chances are not commonly known. Currently it is thought to be between 4 and 8% chance of success but more research is required.
Success: During an frightful encounter, you finally managed to throw a zombie against a rock... Its head literally exploded and the contents splattered onto your shoes ! Breathless, you stagger backwards : that's one more down...one...less...
Success Log entry: (You) went toe to toe with a zombie and managed to finish him !
Failure: You grab one of the wretched automatons with both hands, touching the sticky, putrefied flesh... it's unbearable... You wrestle with it, trying to force it back, but it's not happening... It tries unsuccessfully to bite you several times ! You retreat, out of breath and demoralised...
Failure Log entry: (You) managed to get punched square in the crotch by attacking a zombie with their bare hands... that'll learn them
Vicious uppercut
Heroes may use their vicious uppercut ability once per game to kill 2 zombies instantly.
Attrition
Attrition results in the deaths of a few zombies overnight after you have fought in a zone. It is often called loneliness however not all lonely zombies will die, only the survivors of the day's combat. Approximately 1-2 zombies will die over night because of this allowing you to efficiently clear zones by leaving the last zombies to die from presumably their wounds or starvation.
Air Strike
Not a direct form of combat but the 
Air Strike will kill all zombies in the same row and column as the town.
