Is a zombie server PvE or PvP?

Both exist, and the name does not tell you which. Look at the Tags column: a PvE tag means the server is set up for fighting the undead without player raiding, while no tag usually means standard Rust PvP with zombies added on top.

What actually changes on a server called a zombie server?

Typically the server spawns undead NPCs in the normal Rust world, often through a plugin, so the map, loot and building stay as they are and the threat is extra. What that means in practice varies by server, from roaming infected to timed hordes, and no two run it the same way.

Do these servers wipe on the force wipe?

Many do. Monthly is the most common schedule in this group, so a large share follow the force wipe date rather than a date of their own. Others run weekly or biweekly, and the Next wipe column gives the exact time in UK time with UTC in brackets, with a tilde where the owner has not fixed an hour.

Should I join on wipe day or later?

Wipe day is the busiest and the most crowded on the map, so joining then costs you the early race for a base spot. A few days after a wipe, population is lower and building space easier, but the established players have gear. Both work, depending on whether you want a level start or a quieter one.
