BLAST 2.2.28+ was the first release with support for custom tabular output with query coverage.

edit. 2.2.29+ was apparently released a few days ago

I am having trouble getting query coverage output from local/standalone blast using qcovs:

blastn -task megablast -db nt -query seqs.fasta -max_target_seqs 5 -outfmt "7 std qcovs"

All the other outputs seem to be fine, but I cannot get query coverage output:
