The Last of Us - Can't seem to retrieve arrows

For some reason I can't seem to retrieve my arrows when I've used them to kill a zombie.  When I approach the dead zombie and stand near the arrow I don't get a button prompt, and just pressing triangle doesn't do anything.  Anyone know what I might be doing wrong?

I think its a glitch, because when I use arrows I can still get them after I kill runners or hunters, I mean you can still get bullets from like a handgun.

Hmmm, I did a bit more searching on the internet and it looks like the arrows can break, especially if you hit the zombie in the body rather than the head.  Did that not ever happen to you?

Arrows do sometimes break in half. If you were to shoot one at a building, it would break in half, and you wouldn't be able to retrieve it.

I'm not sure how often they break when used on an enemy, but it's definitely not a glitch,

I heard somewhere that the first arrow always breaks.

Never had that problem but then again I didn't use that many arrows 

Anyway, I'm sure it has nothing to do with enemy type being an infected, it might be a glitch or it might just be that you broke the arrow or it's somehow stuck.
