I have a pair of zebra finches one is female and the other is male. Today I noticed there was an egg, but after a few hours I saw that there was not an egg in the nest even though I saw the female zebra finch sitting on it. I am pretty sure it was an egg and it had not fallen to the ground. I don't know what to do.

Just leave it alone. They do not sit on the eggs constantly. Let nature take its course.
This is odd...is it possible the egg was small enough to slip through the bird's home and roll away? If so, did you go over the entire room? If so, do you have an dog or cat that could have found it?
My friends who raises birds said that sometimes the birds eat their own eggs...although they have never experienced it...they have heard about other feather parents who report such issues.
I had to Google it and there are a lot of hits for finches eating their own eggs.
No I don't think they have eaten the egg cuz there would be traces of it which in my case there aren't what could else would have been happend??
I feel bad. Those were the only two things my go to suggested. I hope someone else here has more insight. Good luck!! Sorry you are having to deal with this situation.
Hey....I am sorry it's a little late but now after they laid MILLIONS of eggs I have seen them eating
