What does it mean algebraically when a simplex row results in a minimum ratio test division by zero?

It means the corresponding constraint coefficient is zero, so that row does not restrict the entering variable and therefore cannot determine a finite leaving variable.
It means the problem may be unbounded because no valid leaving variable can be selected in that direction.
