Wish there was. I know somewhere in the Wiki there was an EPUB that was designed with lots of tests. You would load that EPUB onto your device and see if it could handle it or not (can't seem to find the link right now, and it could be a dated EPUB).
I stumbled upon this in the Wiki, but it looks like it hasn't been updated in a while:

Best bet for maximum compatibility is...... barely use any CSS. It depends on your market as well:
Are you going to be converting to Kindle?
Are your readers only going to be reading in EPUB?
Are your readers going to use a specific reading program (iBooks?)?
What stores are you going to sell this in?
Is it going to be sold directly from your site?
Does this have to have large images (or can/will it be read on a smartphone)?
Are you aiming for extremely long-term conversion (as in, making your life easier for formats beyond EPUB)?
Are your aiming for something short-term (like selling a fixed layout book specific for iPads).
Depending on the answers, you may or may not be able to get away with different/more complex CSS.
