There is no "melting ice" model in EnergyPlus. The rate of melting, remaining surface area, interation with the zone heat balance, etc. would have to be modeled independently of EnergyPlus. Meaning that the ice melting model itself would have to be modeled somehow. There is EMS in EnergyPlus that could run that model if you did have a melting ice model (equations for all aspects of melting ice).
