It is hard to see in what meaningful sense the zombie can be said to be suffering if there is nothing it is like to be the zombie. When you remove any subjective awareness of the "suffering", you remove suffering in any sense that would be incompatible with the existence of a loving, compassionate God.

Suffering is often thought of as a mental event. If there are no mental events, then there is no suffering either. If someone is a zombie, then there cannot be any mental event associated with that person (at least as long as he is a zombie). Thus, that person cannot suffer.

Although it also wouldn't solve the problem of evil, since the zombie would still be suffering - there just wouldn't be anything it is like for that zombie to be suffering.
