Did you get any damage? Getting a bite is the obvious way to become a zombie, but by default scratches and lacerations have a low chance of infecting you with the zombie virus.
Project Zomboid is great fun, especially in co-op MP. Shame the campaign I had with a few comrades kinda died out. I've also been waiting for the NPC update for a while now, and it still hasn't come.
Lacerations are 25% chance to cause Z virus. Scratches less. You need to cover up more and essentially NEVER get into the scenarios that are causing you these injuries. Think of life as over if you so much as get a scratch from a zombie. That's how much you want to be avoiding that.
Turn on target highlight in the menus, it will make your close combat easier because you'll be able to judge range to zombies more confidently.
Don't open doors without a weapon ready.
Once you get the hang of it, complacency is what will get you killed 9/10 times.
If you're getting the stress moodle with it you're almost definitely being infected. You can also get sick from being around too many decaying corpses though idk if you can die from that.

Yeah, those help against regular infections, but the zombie virus is different.
the likelihood of getting the zombie virus
Bite 100%
Laceration 20% iirc
Scratch 7%
