First, look at pg_stat_user_tables to see how many inserts etc. have occurred on the tables that are not showing an autovacuum; they may have simply not reached the threshold yet.  If they have, do a VACUUM VERBOSE across the database and make sure that you can manually vacuum them, or if it reports that it can't remove tuples.

Running the table_bloat_check query from here 
shows some tables with over 20MB and over 20% bloat while my threshold is set to 0.1.

Before
tablename   | est_rows | pct_bloat | mb_bloat | table_mb
Order Items | 169234   | 33        | 25.98    | 79.695
DocumentLog | 189670   | 23        | 5.52     | 23.648

After
Order Items | 179860   | 28        | 22.6     | 79.695
DocumentLog | 197537   | 23        | 5.78     | 24.672

These two now show up as vacuumed in 
SELECT relname, last_vacuum, last_autovacuum FROM pg_stat_user_tables;
So at least that table is working.

tl;dr  Looks to me like vacuum removed  2215 rows from the "Order Items" indexes.
"There were 166068 unused item pointers."
I don't see anything that looks like an error.
