Just to help you a bit with numbers, I have started a scan over the
root.zone as published by a.root-servers.net.

I did find  65 errors. Most severe I think

host_error("BW.","DAISY.EE.UND.AC.ZA.","Host not found").
host_error("GM.","NS2.NIC.GM.","Host not found").
host_error("SO.","MERCURY.ML.ORG.","Host not found").
host_error("VA.","DXMON.CERN.CH.","Host not found").

They are using nameservers that do not even exist.

Next severe are things like

error("ET.","NS1.GIP.NET.","204.59.144.222","no response").
error("ET.","NS2.GIP.NET.","204.59.1.222","no response").
error("ET.","NS3.GIP.NET.","204.59.64.222","no response").

error("MM.","NS-MM.RIPE.NET.","193.0.12.151","no response").
error("MM.","NS.NET.MM.","202.153.125.17","no dns").
error("MM.","NS0.MPT.NET.MM.","203.81.64.20","no soa").

For MM that means you cannot reach them at all.

I dont think they show 24 x 7 support but even if they had
I dont think ICANN would talk to them.

I see only the fellows who are showing errors. But I have seen
analyzing root-servers from different root groups e.g. the
Cesidian Root that you can run for a very long time without
maintainance. So I guess from 65 errors there might be some
50 domains with problems few of them with more than one error
but just as many of them with three errors. The domains with bad
maintainance should be about five times as many - that is 250.

ICANN has 265 domains excluding the root.

Take away NET, COM, ORG, AERO, INFO then only 5 ccTLDs
show 24 x 7 support. That is practically none.

Even if my reasoning is mostly guesswork it suggests there
are few ccTLDs that have 24 x 7 support and it is known
many of them even have outsourced DNS completely.

Kind regards
