It sounds like DNS is resolving as intended. Are you certain your iRule is matching on 'example'? Try putting a logging statement into the iRule and see if anything shows up in /var/log/ltm:

when HTTP_REQUEST { 
 if { [string tolower [HTTP::host]] eq "example" } { 
  log local0. "Matched example host, redirecting"
  HTTP::redirect "https://example.com/test" 
 } 
}

So then is 'example' getting CNAME'd to example.com? Could be that this is the case, and when the HTTP request arrives at your LTM, the host header specifies example.com and the iRule won't match.
