I'm pretty sure epub doesn't support gradients on the fill of text. You would have to turn that into a graphic in order to display it that way in an epub.
Some HTML/CSS effects can be included in EPUB docs, but for the most part that has to be done at the CSS/export level.
Most ID graphics are not exported, or not exported with any accuracy. (For example, some image annotations with arrows turned into a mess on EPUB export; I had to go back and edit the image itself to include them.) Most ID effects are lost as well.

...and the gradient was not exported to the CSS file. I assume you added it in CSS editing, but again, you'll find that very few EPUB readers support it. If any. (I was trying to see if Kindle Previewer did.)
