How can I share a file with my virtualised Windows CE box if the HPC Factor WindowsCE Virtual PC images do not support the Virtual Machine Additions or the virtual network driver?

I cannot mount a shared folder, since it requires the VM Additions and I cannot copy a file via the network, since it requires a working network driver.

Is there a way to copy a file from my host system to my CE VM or is there a better way to emulate Windows CE on my Windows 7 host system?

If your OS image includes ActiveSync, you could try to install a virtual (software-based) serial port, and connect ActiveSync on your workstation with the one on your virtual device. I have not tested this myself in Windows CE but in theory it should work. I found a commercial virtual serial port software here, and an open source one here.

If your OS image does not support ActiveSync, you could still try this approach using two serial port-based file transfer applications, for example hyperterminal on your workstation and Zterm CE on Windows CE.
