I'm looking for something that details how the characters find shelter, food/water, how they transport, how they spend their time, etc. I don't even need that much of a plot or conflict – I'm just fascinated about what life would actually be like in those situations.

The Day of the Triffids by John Wyndham
The Stand/stephen King.
If you want something a little more down-to-earth, I can recommend “Life As We Knew It” by Susan Beth Pfeffer. It gets really into the daily grind of just keeping the basics handled (food, water, heat). No zombies, no cannibal marauders, just post-apocalyptic survival.
