Dale wasn't dead when the zombie got him, Darrell put a bullet in his brain which would have prevented the "zombification"

So maybe he has been infected for some time and the virus had enough of a hold on him that it reanimated his very quickly.

He was also in close combat with them at the water treatment plant, so perhaps he got scratched or some of their slobber got in to an open wound (like when he was wiping his blood on the bus doorframe.) I still think it's possible that the water is contaminated so they could all be at risk. It does seem that they are all latent carriers, though--the hostage turned, too.
