Why am I not seeing flights operated by the others.

My searches were all departing on June 26th 2015 and returning July 19th 2015. I tried the multi day and the 5 week option as well as the fixed date. Results were all the same, no partner flights.

I searched ORD, DTW, JFK, MSP and IAD all to CDG and none showed an Air France option.

I searched ORD, DTW, JFK, MSP and IAD all to AMS and none showed a KLM option.

I searched ORD, DTW, JFK, MSP and IAD all to LHR and none showed an Virgin Atlantic option.

I also searched LAX and SFO to ICN and neither showed a Korean Air option.

Doe anyone have advice as to why many see partner flights, yet I am unable to see any?

Thanks in advance!
The partner flights are only available at the "saver" level, so the results will appear more limited than Delta flights. I've seen all 4 of those carriers on searches with the new award calendar. Try changing your dates by a few months to confirm. The summer is a popular time to travel so the availability on partners may have already dried up for the most part. I booked flights on both Air France and KLM back in August around those times when the calendar first opened.
