When it spawns next to a block, its spawn is cancelled entirely because of the horse contact box slightly touching this block. It’s already as rare as a witch, this ends up making it way rarer than intended. This is the same problem regular horses face too, but it is more of a problem for zombie horses since they are already very rare.
This could be fixed by making the horse find elsewhere to spawn instead of failing entirely, only canceling the spawn if there are no valid places to spawn instead of failing a certain radius.
However, Some have noted that the camel husk is more common than the zombie horse. This may suggest the camel husk is optimised to never attempt to spawn next to blocks and find elsewhere so it never cancels spawns. Horses and the zombie horse could be changed to follow the spawning behaviour of the camel.

how do I do this?
Anyway steps to reproduce:
Have a Zombie horse attempt to spawn on a grass block with light level 0, and have any kind of block placed next to that spawn location.
Expected Response: The zombie horse spawns.
Actual response: It doesnt spawn at all, making it common for a zombie horse spawn to be cancelled.
