He left nothing undone
is pretty much the same as "he did everything". Your other example, however, is a question not a statement.
Another possibility:
There was nothing he didn't do.
He left nothing undone.
Does fit. Another choice might be:
There was nothing he didn't do.
The second suggestion from the question does not fit.
The question completely misunderstands itself.
'He did everything' is grammatically positive; semantically it means little. Define 'everything', please?
'He left nothing undone' is still positive, unless you think 'he ran away' or 'he surrendered' or 'he lost' grammatically negative. Do you?
'Didn't he do anything?' is a question; not comparable to the other examples.
'He did nothing' is still a positive statement. 'He did (whatever)' will always remain positive.
'He did not do anything' is as close as you could get to a negative statement.
