After winning the 1952 and 1953 World Championships, Alberto Ascari only finished 25th in the 1954 Championship. He failed to finish any of the four races he entered that season, and his only points came from setting the fastest laps at the British and Spanish GPs (the former was shared wih six other drivers, hence his bizarre final points tally of 1 1/7).
I haven't been able to find any performance by a defending champion that was worse than this.

Fangio retired mid season in 1958, so I'm not sure if that qualifies for this list.

Curious, why do you sort Scheckter where you do? And, it would be good to add a source to this if you can - wherever you got these numbers from. Thanks for including the full list!
