If a Canon camera has its shutter replaced by the manufacturer or service center, is the camera's reported shutter count typically reset, or does it continue from the old count?

Yes.
I've changed the shutter on my Canon 5D Mk3 due of one of blades desync at a shutter count of ~170000 (more than the expected of 150000). Now when I'm looking with the same tool and it says 53371.
Note: I use(d) an utility which I downloaded from http://www.shutteractuations.com/
Now it seems that they offer just the online option.

Usually, yes. Based on the community report, after a shutter replacement on a Canon 5D Mark III, the reported shutter count no longer matched the camera’s prior total and appeared to start over from a lower number. In practice, shutter count reporting can depend on the camera model, the service procedure, and the software used to read it, so it may not always behave identically across all bodies. But a shutter replacement can result in the reported count being reset or no longer reflecting the lifetime total actuations of the camera body.
