Armour has a chance to reduce damage, but this seems to apply to the Duel and Brawl rules. i.e. fights against the living.
Fighting the dead has its own system, and even points out what to do when it happens while you're already in a Brawl or Duel, and suffering a Walker Attack has very specific results. many of which just kill you without doing actual Damage. So I'd say, no, Armour is no protection against the Dead (who, unlike the Living, are trying to eat you) BUT it does still have that nasty Mobility penalty....
As a caveat though - none of our lot are wearing anything that could be considered armour, so the matter hasn't actually come up....
