I can't produce a more thorough answer now, but in general the whole
uncovered expressions feature relies on expressions with a source
indication.  For example, this works as you expect:

  (define Ev
    (parameterize ([sandbox-coverage-enabled #t])
      (make-evaluator 'lang/htdp-intermediate
                      "(define (f x)
                          (if (zero? x) \"zero\" \"non-zero\"))
                       (f 4)"
                      )))
  (get-uncovered-expressions Ev)

and it should also work for a sandbox that is created from a file.
