When setting armour slots or hand slots in a zombie or creeper to air, it does not update on the client automatically, meaning it will appear to still be wearing the armor/ holding the item, although it is not. In order to sync the client and the server again, the player has to relog, or let the chunks unload and then reload them.

Your game, launcher or server is modified.
If you can reproduce the issue in a vanilla environment, please recreate the issue.
Any non-standard client/server/launcher build needs to be taken up with the appropriate team, not Mojang.
Any plugin issues need to be addressed to the creator of the plugin or resource pack.
If you have problems on large servers, such as The Hive and Hypixel, please contact them first as they run modified server software.
