OK, so "Set Status Read" *is* working, just not for that particular
rule.

That feels like a lot of conditions, do you have other filter rules
with that many? I don't know if there is some limit.

I don't think you've ever said what sort of account it is - IMAP, POP,
EWS? Is it possible that another mail client could also be affecting
the mail?

Ultimately you will need to turn on the filter logging to see what
Evolution is really doing. Details on how to do that are in the help or
at 

https://help.gnome.org/users/evolution/stable/mail-filters-not-working.html

If you can't work out from that what's happening then sanitize the log
to remove personal information and upload it to somewhere like pastbin
so that others can have a look at it.
