In your custom loot scripts is a file CfgBuildingPos.sqf that has a code block for each building classname. After the buildings classname is the loot type that it will draw from.
You will need to have a code block like below for each building you added that does not already have a class definition. Check that the buildings you added from map_eu do not already have one but its NOT named with the map_ prefix ..... if that is the case, you can just go into your sqf file that created the buildings and change the name from map_ to land_ or whatever the prefix is.
[EDIT]. You said infistar. I assume that places them in the object database rather than an sqf file, so same applies, rename the classname in your database.
There are more options, but the above is the basic. lootPos will pull loot from cfgloot.sqf, and maxroaming is how many zombies will spawn. the lootPos[] is an array of positions inside the building where loot will spawn.
Use this script (its included in the pbo) http://opendayz.net/threads/find-building-loot-positions.11031/ (instructions are included I am sure)
You put the file into your operation arrowhead/addons folder and start arma, then press CONTROL+E to start the editor. The custom buildings you have added, place them all in a row and then go into them and point to where you want the loot position. Its copied to the clipboard so then you just tab to your notepad++ file and paste the location into the lootpos[] array.
Repeat for each loot pile and building.
Its a bit confusing, so to review the steps:

Its a bit confusing, so to review the steps:
- Open cfgbuildingspos.sqf in notepad++
- download the pbo from the link and put it in your addons folder. You will have to delete it before you go to join a dayz server or you will get an error because of your extra file.
- Start Arma2, press control+e to open the editor.
- Place the buildings you want loot positions for, put them anywhere, all in a row. the actual worldspace location does not matter.
- Go into each building and get the lootpos, alt+tab to notepad++ and paste the lootpos into your newly created building classes lootpos[] array.
- Repeat.

As an example about the map_eu buildings, I opened the editor and placed the map_eu military barracks. Its the EXACT SAME building as the normal military barracks. If you look on the object list on the left you can see the classname is MAP_mil_barracks_i
If you did this in an SQF script you would use the standard arma classname of Land_Mil_Barracks_i and if you look at the CfgBuildingPos.sqf you will see this classname already has a loot position class definition:
So, if you placed a barracks with infistar (or via the editor) and it says MAP_Mil_Barracks_i as the classname you can simply rename it to LAND_Mil_Barracks_i and it will spawn the normal loot.
If you did this in an SQF script you would use the standard arma classname of Land_Mil_Barracks_i and if you look at the CfgBuildingPos.sqf you will see this classname already has a loot position class definition:

lootPos[] = {{4.56494,-2.67383,-1.14822},{0.312988,1.54492,-1.09824},{-2.95361,1.49414,-1.11823},{-3.39111,-1.99023,-0.708221},{-6.68604,-1,0.0917664},{-8.94238,-2.52441,-1.09824},{-0.59668,-1.49609,-1.10825},{3.03467,-1.00586,0.0917664},{-0.214355,-2.19531,0.0917664},{-8.93018,1.53906,-1.09824}};
