Check if: You're on Easy (has to be on Normal/Hard, higher chance of them picking it up is on Hard), what he said above about mobgriefing, you have to set it to true and lastly, if that doesn't work, monsters spawn with the chance to pick up armor/weapons, not all will do it, so keep spawning some more until one picks it up.

I am pretty sure this has to do with the game rule mobgriefing (correct me if I am wrong). is mobgriefing set to false?

Yes it was already holding its enchanted bow.
