1) Place a solid block above you while mining down to prevent zombies from falling on your head. When you're ready to dig deeper, remove the solid block and place it a couple blocks lower--this is tedious, but it will prevent monsters from falling on top of you. 2) You don't have to just dig down, you can dig sideways too--monsters are easier to deal with in your mines if they're coming from the side. 3) You can also make multiple vertical shafts or hellevators, you don't just have to keep going down and down in your single shaft.
