Lack of a table entry providing the number to roll is suggestive that there's no roll in this case.
But also, notice that those target numbers closely match the casualty percentages. They're the number to roll a 5%, 10%, 15%, etc., chance on 3d6. (Compare with the table on B171.) The chance of misfortune is just the chance that you were a casualty. 0% casualties would mean a 0% chance of being one of the misfortunate people that became a casualty.
Even a 3 would suggest 0.5% casualties when applied to the whole army. If you really want a roll at 0%, you could go for, say, two 3s in a row to indicate misfortune -- in this case just some random accident not related to the combat at all.
