You don't have to; on Hard mode some will spawn with the ability to do so naturally. Also, I think OP said he was playing Survival, so I don't think NBT editing is a proper suggestion.

If you want to make them pick up items. You have to edit their NBT tag.

Not all zombies pick up items - this is an ability each mob may or may not have.

Also, you need to use a splash potion of weakness before rightclicking a zombie with a golden apple has any effect. You don't literally give them the apple.
