Showing empty product categories via the shortcode

Hello everyone,

I’m using the following shortcode to display a list of all product categories in three columns:

<?php echo do_shortcode('[product_categories columns="3"]'); ?>

Unfortunately all the empty categories are not getting displayed via this approach and I’d like to achieve exactly that. Is it possible to display a full list of product categories including the empty ones via shortcode? If yes, how? Thank you in advance for the help and greetings.
