Had this problem earlier. Declare that the name MT_NAME is in freeslot.
Zone builder grants the bottom resource on the resource load list a freeslot automatically. Basically, if you had something wrong with your freeslot declaration you wouldn't know unless it was the lower priority.
Easy fix make sure the MT_NAME, SPR_NAME, and States are all declared. obviously since it works in zone builder the states should be fine, its that its not registering as a full custom item in its own freeslot.
you didn't declare the freeslots correctly.
I understand though, nothing on the internet explains this and it's very confusing if you don't already know or just so happen to write everything correctly first time.
PS: Someone really needs to put this info on the wiki, I don't have permissions.

Needs to be Freeslots for sprites itsOkay, can you say what’s wrong?

FREESLOT
MT_TTHOUSE
MT_SPZREDFLOWER
MT_NAME - Name of Mobj
S_StateName
SPR_SpriteName (Has to be 4 letters obviously)
DS"SoundName" - without quotations, also has to be 4.
Note that your graphics MUST BE DoomGFX(Paletted) and converted in slade with the Sonic Robo Blast 2 LEGACY Palette.
if You clarify the name but there is no sprite available, it will use the sprite of whatever the next priority object is, which can be pretty random.
it's either going to the the "Thing Numbers (like 1995, 3337, etc)" sprite, or it's going to be the other object that did have it's sprite freeslotted and will give it to the one who did not have a sprite freeslotted (Just a Glitch).
In Zonebuilder it will give the sprite of the highest priority resource you have loaded (other wads that you load, bottom one has highest priority)
PS I think your "House" is too big.OBJECT MT_TTHOUSE

You may want to keep it under 500 Frac Units, but experiment.
Also the visual size will not increase as that is based off the resolution of the graphic.
155x155 is about the character size in height and width.

PPS: Underneath the graphic display port when you click a graphic in slade is a little dropdown and you need to select sprite.
