Not true. At ual.com, when logged in and preferences set to expert mode, availability by fare basis is shown.
For the heck of it, I picked two days at random in January and checked LAX-AKL-LAX and LAX-SYD-LAX. As expected, all four flights showed 9 available in "A". (The most the system will show is 9.)

UA does not show "A" class availability on their international flight on any CRS' site ie ITN or Travelocity. Each flight must be "requested on a NN basis" by the airline or travel agency booking that segment. If there are "A" seats, your flight will be booked immediately.
I book all my *A RTWs through my associate agency in Toronto, Canada.
