Getting complete zone file?

I assume you mean subzones rather than subdomains, since undelegated 
subdomains are *in* the zone and therefore it is rather trivial to list 
them from the zone file.

I further assume that you are running BIND 8, because in BIND 9, 
delegation records appear in the zone file of the parent zone and 
therefore, again, it is rather trivial to generate a list of them. In 
BIND 8, the delegation records for a particular zone may be missing from 
the parent zone file, if the nameserver also happens to be authoritative 
for the child zone (this is because BIND 8 didn't handle zone cuts 
correctly). In that case, you'd have to look at /etc/named.conf in order 
to identify all of the subzones. If you don't want to bother with that, 
perhaps it's time to consider upgrading to BIND 9.
