You forget add return:

add_shortcode("myeventplugin","short_code_view");
function short_code_view(){
    return include PLUGIN_DIR_PATH.'views/shortcode-template.php';
}

Hope help you.

Change your shortcode to

add_shortcode("myeventplugin","short_code_view");
function short_code_view(){
    ob_start();
    include PLUGIN_DIR_PATH.'views/shortcode-template.php';
    $content = ob_get_contents();
    ob_end_clean();
    return $content;
}
