I'm guessing it's near the beginning from the numbers.  Creation myths are usually the first part of any compendium.  Eve is mentioned, just not by name - verse 2.35

If she's not mentioned by name, the Koran may very well be talking about one of Adam's other wives. Though I suppose that Eve is the most likely, given the other more-Christian/less-Judaic influences.

Well, the next verse indicates that particular wife was part of the Fall (But the Shaitan made them both fall from it), so I'm laying odds on it being the same figure, regardless of name.  (Kind of like that Hera/Juno thing.)
