I just finished setting up App Indexing for my website's Android app and I did a few tests by passing https://www.example.com/test and https://example.com/test according to the instructions specified in https://developers.google.com/app-indexing/android/test (Testing URLs with Android Studio)

This is my intent filter in my Android Manifest:

<intent-filter android:label="@string/filter_title_default">
    <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
    <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
    <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
    <data android:scheme="https"
          android:host="example.com"
          android:pathPrefix="/test" />
</intent-filter>

I noticed that https://www.example.com/test fails, but not https://example.com/test. How do I fix this, other than specifying another intent filter for www.example.com/test?

As far as I know, each host should be added in a new intent filter. You can refer to this doc for more info.

You can specify multiple data elements for your intent filter, for all URLs you need to handle with your activity.

To handle both www and non-www links to your domain you can change your intent filter to this: 

<intent-filter android:label="@string/filter_title_default">
    <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
    <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
    <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
    <data android:scheme="https"
          android:host="example.com"
          android:pathPrefix="/test" />
    <data android:scheme="https"
          android:host="www.example.com"
          android:pathPrefix="/test" />
</intent-filter>

Or to handle example.com and any subdomain, you can include a wildcard at the beginning of the host:

<intent-filter android:label="@string/filter_title_default">
    <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
    <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
    <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
    <data android:scheme="https"
          android:host="example.com"
          android:pathPrefix="/test" />
    <data android:scheme="https"
          android:host="*.example.com"
          android:pathPrefix="/test" />
</intent-filter>

Also, if you want to match all your domain URLs, you must remove the pathPrefix attribute completely, as setting it to "/" doesn't work as expected.
