Following is a response from DHS Project Director, Joy Fishel:

The general question for women "When was the last time you were tested for HIV?" is not asked of women with a recent birth who were tested during ANC and not since then. However, the procedure for these women is that the time since their last HIV test is coded into the standard survey recode variable (v826/v826a).

However, I believe three surveys mentioned had skip errors in the questionnaire such that SOME of the women who were testing for HIV during ANC were not asked a question about time since last test. In some of the surveys, the women missing the date of last test are those tested in ANC and not since, and in others, it was those tested in ANC and after.
