After trying multiple times, I have discovered that when leaving a villager and a zombie alone, the zombie will just straight up kill the villager instead of turning it into a zombie villager.
What you thought should happen:
The zombie should just turn the villager instead of killing it completely.
What actually happened was...:
The zombie was completely killing the villagers
Steps to Reproduce:
1. I put a villager in a hole
2. Threw a zombie in the hole
3. Got out of range of the zombie, he attacks the villager
4. Instead of turning the villager, the zombie kills it immediately.

As you can see here, it is not guaranteed that the villager turns into a Zombified Villager: https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Zombie_Villager#Spawning
villagers don't turn into zombie villagers all the time unless on hard difficulty
