Your latest version is probably good enough.? But as I am an an OCD nit picker, I am inclined to suggest a slightly more concise version, like:
When a small town is attacked by zombie deer, an underachieving park ranger searches for a cure while fighting to save the townspeople from becoming an endangered species.
(28 words versus 32 words)
The enthusiastic trainee may be unnecessary for the logline unless, perhaps, you are playing the story as a dark comedy horror in which case the relationship between the two would be an important source of comic relief. I kind of see it as a comedy-horror flick, a parody of the trope, because of the "Bambi goes Beserk" twist/hook, innocent looking deer are an endangering species, not an endangered one.
As for cutting out "keeping themselves"-- it goes without saying they want to save themselves. So it need not be said.
Whatever.? Zombie deer is a killer concept.?? This is a film I would definitely want to see.? Very best wishes.

Couple of tweaks with all your great feedback, how does this sound:
?
When a small town is terrorized by zombie deer, an underachieving Park Ranger and her enthusiastic trainee search for a cure while keeping themselves and the townspeople from becoming the endangered species.
