Make sure you're actually pressing Ctrl '+' and not Ctrl '='.

At least on a U.S. keyboard, the '+' and '=' are on the same physical
key, but the '+' requires you to hold down Shift.  (Or try the scenic
route with View -> Zoom -> Zoom In.)

Zooming in with this method works for me for all HTML mails presently at
my disposal -- mostly in my Junk folder, and also a few Amazon orders
where the inline CSS explicitly specifies the font size (in pixels no
less), and WebKit does the right thing regardless.

To get a bit technical, for the "Zoom In" command Evolution simply calls
webkit_web_view_zoom_in().  What happens next is entirely up to WebKit.
