Question Is there a way to pathfinder away from an object

I have a zombie minion character guy that follows you around and stops if he gets too close to you. The problem with this is that if he stops in a doorway that you need to go through, he just sits there, trapping you in that room. this also happens in hallways and any other narrow space.

is there a well established way to have an agent pathfind in the opposite direction of you?
