Additional Information

This was addressed in the April 2018 update ArcGIS Online. The fix only applies to newly published empty feature layers. For existing feature layers that might be experiencing this problem, the spatial index needs to be rebuilt. This functionality was also added in the April 2018 update ArcGIS Online and can be found on the item details page for the feature layer under the settings tab.

Workaround

Publish the shapefile from ArcMap or ArcGIS Pro.
