I was going to say that it depends on whether vampires are dead or not, or whether they're considered human or no longer.
But then I remembered, hang on, animals engage in necrophilia too (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necrophilia#Animals).
Now, if the vampire is a reanimated corpse that's powered by the vitae of living creatures, you'd think this gets complicated, but I don't think it does -- whatever it is, live or dead, a vampire is an organism, and since it can move and react to its surroundings, you can still use language that was reserved for entities that are humans and animals. So I'm figuring that, yes, even when we're talking about dead vampire variants, it's still called necrophilia.
Now... the question is... if a robot fucks a corpse, is that necrophilia too?
