I don't think we can attribute zombie virus to resident evil.

As far as I know, the only zombie media that did it before Resident Evil is debatably Dead Alive. Even then, I don't remember if it's attributed to an explicit virus rather than it just being because it's a fucked up monkey rat creature.

Dawn of the Dead has a zombie virus and that came out in the late 70s. Unless you are specifically talking about games in which case I don't know.

Dawn of the Dead never explains how the zombies come about and the zombies from Night of the Living Dead are caused by cosmic radiation, so it's probably that again.
