Maybe a fragment of the soul. But certainly not it's personality. Animated bodies tend to have similar level of intelligence as the body had in life, but "zombies" are beings without a will of their own.

So... There's no soul, as there's no personality, but some sort of power must be applied to the body to reanimate it.

There are exceptions, however. Soul can be bound to things, creating other kind of creatures.
