David,

AFAIK, Evince remembers the zoom factor used in every document. 

The default you mention is only for new documents. This means that the 

default value is not used if you already has opened the document with
Evince.

Evince uses gvfs to store the metadata for every document. If you want to 

check the the zoom factor for document, try this


gvfs-info -a "metadata::evince::zoom" filename

And if you want to change it,

gvfs-info -a "metadata::evince::zoom" filename


Hope this helps,
