Zone vs. an actual test

Well clear of both the 1.3 pCi/L national indoor average and EPA's 4 pCi/L action level, Miller County's Zone 3 prediction is the low end of the scale. Low doesn't mean zero: EPA's own data shows homes in Zone 3 counties like Miller County testing above the action level often enough that skipping a test isn't the safe assumption.
