If wandering traders should become zombie villagers, they should (let go of their llamas and) become a nitwit zombie villager. If you look right under the wandering trader's clothing, you will see the exact clothing of a nitwit, so their true identity should be revealed when they become zombified. Curing this zombie villager should result in a typical village nitwit to make sure that other wandering traders will spawn. Wandering traders really are nitwits; they would trade a single seed if you give them an emerald!
