Research the function Entity:Fire( )
It allows you to fire entity inputs that are generally set in hammer.
If you use ent:Fire("Toggle", 0, "" ) I think that will turn a spawner on. I havn't used it in a while so you should research the specifics of it's usage on your own.

... if you had actually googled the function you would know how retarded what you just said is...

To make a zombie you use
[lua]
ents.Create("npc_zombie")
[/lua]

To fix your function:
[lua]
function ZombieSpawns()
local zombie = ents.Create("npc_zombie")
zombie:SetPos( Vector( -393.009399, 5451.424316, -10111.968750 ) )
zombie:Spawn()
timer.Simple( 10, function() ZombieSpawns() end )
end

function StartZombieSpawning()
ZombieSpawns()
end
hook.Add("InitPostEntity", "StartZombieSpawning", StartZombieSpawning) //This starts the function when the gamemode initializes and can work with entities
[/lua]
