Actually the correct spelling is "America/Sao_Paulo".  On my Guix
installation it seems to be the file
    ${GUIX_PROFILE}/share/zoneinfo/America/Sao_Paulo

Did you test in Guix System or, like me, in Guix Emacs atop a foreign
GNU distro?  In my case, "Brazil/East" also does not work.  I have tried
installing Guix package tzdata---both on my main profile which contains
emacs-next and on my ‘emacs’ profile which contains Emacs 27.2 for
testing---and rebooting my notebook, but the result is the same.

And I have just installed Emacs 27.1 on my Debian bullseye, and it
correctly gets both "Brazil/East" and "America/Sao_Paulo".
