You have to wait until another player comes by or you have to leave the area and come back later (later being like >an hour in most cases.

It also helps to remove loot from the spots from what I can tell and have heard.

1. Pick up entire loot pile

2. Drop it somewhere else

3. Leave the area for 5-10 minutes

4. Return to area

5. Enjoy new loot

Rinse and repeat

Not an hour. If you spawn in a market lets say, no loot, then exit the market, go across the road, go take a piss or something, come back and voila! The loot will be there :)

Plus

Sometimes it time and some times you trigger the spawn. In addition to the above, move from the area roughly 100 to 150 meters and return. You will have to deal with zombies again ( possibly )

Some servers use a faster rate of time so the loot will spawn faster.
