It depends? He can live a couple more weeks to a couple more months. It's all going to depend on whether he can find water. Food is something they can go without for a little while.
I would suggest looking around appliances, tv's or anything that gives off a little bit of warmth. I would bet that he is hiding out in one of these places. You could also put a little flour around corners or along walls and see if there is any movement. Try using tape traps. They are easy to make. Just use masking or the blue painters tape. Do not use duct tape or you could injure or kill the snake. Place this stuff, sticky side up, on the floor along walls, edges or corners. Check them often because if the snake gets to moving and hits one, he could get all tangled up. A little olive oil or water will get it loose.
Also, did you go through the viv good. I thought I lost a snake once. Tore the house a part looking for her. A few hours later, when I was ready to rip hair out, I went back to the viv and went through it again. Mostly, just for S & G's.
I picked up her favorite hidey house, which was an old box, I found her coiled up on the inside top. She managed to hook herself on this little corner and when I picked up the box, she clung. I had no idea.
I pulled everything out of that tank, several times and I was sure she was gone. Fortunately for me, I was mistaken.
Good Luck and keep us posted!
