Does the game end if the infection bag runs out during an Epidemic, not just during Infect Regions?

Posters agree on the intent, but the rulebook text names only the Infect Regions step, and no designer has ruled.

Yes, in practice. The team loses whenever dice must be drawn and the bag cannot supply them, including during an Epidemic. An empty bag is fine if it is refilled before the next draw. The rulebook names only Infect Regions, so this is the best reading.
