So you asked for binary-format results ...

The first of those is certainly not going to work, and depending on what
platform you're on the second won't either, because it's only extracting
the first 32 bits of the 64-bit result of count().
The other problem you've got here is that the result is coming off the
wire in big-endian byte order, and you're not doing anything to convert
that into native byte order (which more than likely is little-endian).
The reason you're seeing zeroes is that the high 32 bits of the result
are zeroes.
Personally, I would not bother with binary format unless I anticipated
processing enormous volumes of data; it's just too error-prone.
Better to use text and apply strtol() or whatever.
If you really must do it in binary format, here's the way pq_getmsgint64
reads a 64-bit big-endian value:
int64 result;
uint32 h32;
uint32 l32;
pq_copymsgbytes(msg, (char *) &h32, 4);
pq_copymsgbytes(msg, (char *) &l32, 4);
h32 = ntohl(h32);
l32 = ntohl(l32);
result = h32;
result <<= 32;
result |= l32;
which is pretty tedious, but there's no standard 64-bit version
of ntohl/htonl, so we have to swap each half separately.
