It was an underground base and i had an entry hall made of multiple small cells made of U-shaped frames. These shapes are perfect for a spear build because it is easy to melee through them, but zombies can only pass through them by glitching. I knew about the glitching problem as i already have experience with an elevated base where zombies managed to destroy blocks behind other block and then glitch into that space (i literally had to destroy almost fully intact blocks to reach the zombies inside that wall). The multiple cells interconnected by carefully placed doors of which most would block the path in either state (single door airlock design often seen in Rust) worked fine to deal with that - until the server lagged too much and it became hard to precisely maneuver into the next cell.
I don't know Why they can hit blocks behind intact blocks or glitch though single block thick walls.
But the damaging of hidden blocks might have been done by an exploding zombi - the hidden blocks wheren't upgraded to the same tier as the blocks in front and maybe, the engine doesn't implement blast shielding properly.
In any observed instance of glitching, a zombie tried to crawl to me or got displaced by other zombies into a single-layer wall repeatedly and then teleported from inside the wall to my side. I guess, that they more often teleport to the outer side and there just is a little chance that they glitch too much and the engine chooses my side as the nearest open space. Looks like fighting zombies with a spear gives them a lot of time to bug out in different ways...
Anyways: Of course i sill have fun and adapt to the bugs. But i wished, that zombies would actually have to break walls to get through them.
Also, spears should have a power attack that doesn't throw them away. I love ranged melee and never throw the spear on purpose.
