It may be that the publisher chose to spec the drop cap values differently in the ePub, values that may work well in most ePub readers but not the same as what they chose for the AZW3
Looks like the values are the same but the format is different for some reason. Original AZW3 and EPUB have the same format but the converted AZW3 is a bit different.

I did edit the converted AZW3 and I can get it to look pretty close to the original, so that's an option, though I am baffled why I have to do this when the original values in the original files look just fine.

AZW3 from Amazon:
Code:
.drop{float:left;font-size:3.4em;margin-right:0.05em;font-weight:bold;line-height:.7em;margin-top:.1em;}
EPUB from different store:
Code:
.drop{float:left;font-size:340%;margin-right:0.05em;font-weight:bold;line-height:.7em;margin-top:.1em;}
AZW3 after conversion:
Code:
.drop {
    float: left;
    font-size: 340%;
    font-weight: bold;
    line-height: 0.7em;
    margin-right: 0.05em;
    margin-top: 0.1em
    }
