As far as I am aware, the ’Exhaustion’ status effect is synonymous with having 0HP, or being dead. Any time a character is put at 0HP by any means, they gain the Exhaustion status effect and are considered dead.
A Zombie Tear can only be used on a character with 0HP (Exhausted), and essentially acts like any other revival item/spell, but with the side effect of inflicting Zombification on the revived target.
Being reduced to 0HP again (Exhausted) will cause the Zombification status to be removed, yes. Most (all?) status effects are removed upon a character death, in general. It was also possible to buy some Pure Tear items from Gladenmore in LF1, which can remove the Zombification status effect outright. There may be other items that can remove it as well.
