The way I saw it, Corrupted Zamasu is basically Zamasu using his full power and abusing Black's unique way of gaining power through pain. He became stronger then, enough to completely match Vegito Blue (though not overpower him) for a while. The strain of the battle, however, was becoming too much for his body to handle, and every new wound would destabilize it more and more. To my understanding, Zamasu began getting slower after bulking up in an attempt to remain in the fight. His body was already so grotesque that, to me, was the point his immortality was no longer functioning as intended. He could recover, but the more damage he took, the worse he got.
So when Vegito hit him with the Final Kamehameha, it was the breaking point, even if it not looked like it. Zamasu's ki was being drained to mantain his body intact, because of the flawed immortality. He was still stronger than an exhausted Goku and Vegeta, obviously, but I assumed he reached his limit. Enough that Trunks, who already had a power similar to a SSB, overwhelm him with his Spirit Sword/Sword of Victory. The how is irrelevant, that was rule of drama/cool at work, but the narrative was that Trunks would be able to finish Zamasu off then.
So to me, it would be: Zamasu got weaker (1), was trashed beyond what his pseudo-immortality could handle properly (2), and made himself much slower by bulking up (3). Those three disadvantages were what allowed Trunks to ultimately overpower Zamasu.
But all that is meaningless since he could just make himself one with the concept of justice itself. Talk about unfair.
