I'm sorry I'm still stuck. I deployed the Ear file onto a third WAS server and it did not work there. I got the same service unknown error.
I searched the machine and could not find a deployedServices.ds file. WSAD does not seem to generate this file for me. Does it get generated when you install the Ear? Maybe it has a different name? The ear file doesn't have anything except the classes for my app, some XML files and an ISD file(?)
I absolutely beat this to death today. I tried anything that I saw in any other post, white paper, support page and I get the exact same error. It seems like WAS is missing something that registers the service. Something more than WSAD does. Does this ring a bell with anyone? Does anyone have any suggestions? I'll try anything at this point.

Since I didn't do anything different when I installed the Enterprise App, what happened?

By this, I assume you mean you bundled your stuff up as an EAR and dropped it into WAS, right?
In a "normal" Apache SOAP app, there is a file named DeployedServices.ds that is the Java serialization of the Hashtable of DeploymentDescriptors for the deployed services. The exact location of that file can vary between containers, because some method like MapPath is used.
By configuring Apache SOAP through soap.xml, etc., it is possible to specify another location and/or name for this file, or to specify that an XML format be used instead.
Regardless, if this file is not in your EAR, the service(s) will not appear to be deployed. Even if the file is in the EAR, I would guess that it is possible that a difference in configuration between containers (in this case your dev v. test) could make Apache SOAP unable to locate the file.
