I beleive the original routing (Flight 1 and 2) back in 1997 was:

DEL was an interesting connecting point from HKG to LHR.
LAX-HKG, LHR-EWR, and LAX-EWR are no longer in service.
The last RTW I did on all UA metals was in 1992 HKG-DEL-LHR-IAD-MIA-SFO-NRT-HKG.
Now with Star Alliance covering the earht, there is really no need for UA offer RTW.
I don't think there are any airlines offer complete RTW services on its own metal.
NZ does, AKL-LAX-LHR-HKG-LHR.
