Yes, you're right - that would not remove other records for that subject.

Here's my suggestion:

gen byte todrop=covariate==0 & time==2
bysort subject (todrop): drop if todrop[_N]==1

The idea is that when sorting by -todrop- within subject, the last -todrop- per subject (todrop[_N]) tells you whether or not that subject had any records matching the exclusion criteria.
