I would first find the non-zero rows, then choose randomly amongst them:
nzr = find(sum(A,2)>0); % Indices Of Non-Zero Rows
random_nz_row = nzr(randi(length(nzr), 1)) % Choose One Non-Zero Row
nz_row = A(random_nz_row,:) % Display Random Non-Zero Row

another variant
inz = find(any(A ~= 0,2));
out = A(inz(randperm(numel(inz),1)),:);
