That is an intended feature. When zombies convert into drowned they drop all items that they were holding and wearing. See more information here.

To the reporter:
This is not a bug. This is an intended feature. If you could please go to the link I provided in my previous comment you will see that armors and items worn by zombies will be dropped when they are converted into drowned.

This Works As Intended
Still affects 1.14.30
Note: this happens with all zombies spawned with armor and tools, not just ones that picked them up

I believe this is on purpose as drowns cant hold players items and if a zombie picks up your items and turns to a drowned all the items/armor would delete otherwise.

This bug could be used to slightly workaround MCPE-182630, in the event zombies and husks take your gear.
