Not sure what to do next but might help to know when it is disappearing>
Optionally you could add the book using the Kobo software and see if that works.

Thanks for the help. I dragged and dropped the epub to Calibre, connected the Kobo, hit Send to Device and confirmed it was on the Kobo. Then I opened file explorer and confirmed it is in the file list on the Kobo. I shut down Calibre and the file remained in the file list in file explorer. I shut down file explorer and restarted it, the epub file remained in the list in file explorer. Then I disconnected the Kobo and the book was not on it. I reconnected it to the computer (with Calibre closed) and the file is still in the file list in file explorer. I then opened Calibre and Calibre shows the book in the library but not on the Kobo. File explorer still shows the epub on the Kobo in the file list.
I hope I'm not missing something simple here after all this time!
By the way, this is not the first time it happened but last time it happened I just let it go without trying to fix it.
Thanks!
