Consider the follow example (named sample.html):

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

<body>
    <h1>Title</h1>
    <table border="1">
        <tr>
            <td>X</td>
            <td colspan="2" align="center">Y</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>1</td>
            <td>2</td>
            <td>3</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>4</td>
            <td>5</td>
            <td>6</td>
        </tr>
    </table>
</body>

</html>

I want to convert it into EPUB and for it I use

$ pandoc -f html -t epub -o sample.epub sample.html

The EPUB is create but every cell of the table became one paragraph:

$ unzip -c sample.epub ch001.xhtml                
Archive:  sample.epub
  inflating: ch001.xhtml             
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Style-Type" content="text/css" />
  <meta name="generator" content="pandoc" />
  <title>Title</title>
  <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="stylesheet.css" />
</head>
<body>
<div id="title" class="section level1"><h1>Title</h1><p>X</p><p>Y</p><p>1</p><p>2</p><p>3</p><p>4</p><p>5</p><p>6</p></div>
</body>
</html>

The pandoc table model does not currently support colspans or rowspans. So these tables cannot be parsed.

You could try with --parse-raw -- the HTML tags in the table should then be transmitted verbatim.
