I do not believe it does, Microsoft released a separate scanner:

Steve|||MBSA will flag any unpatched SQL/MSDE server. The latest service pack is
sp3a, which contains the Slammer patch.

The slammer scan that MS provides only scans a few machines in the domain
and sometimes just fails sometimes when run on windows 2003 server.

I would recommend using MBSA 1.2 to scan your servers for missing Windows
and SQL updates. If we fail to scan the
Windows 2003 Server, please let me know the details.
