Let's say you take one cubic centimeter of air from the room you're sitting right now, for example.

Which element would it contain the least, but would still contain it?

You cannot prove that any given cubic centimeter of air doesn't contain an element with 100% certainty.

Could there be a particle of Einsteinium floating around?

Probably Astatine. There's something like 10^20 particles in that cubic centimetre of air, so you can expect it contain at least few atoms of pretty much everything.

Yeah, the thing is that even if the relative amount of some gas or element is one part per 10^20 which is crazily small, that cubic centimeter would still contain it.

It would be extremely unlikely, but the velocity of the gas molecules follows a Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution, so through some insane sequence of fusions and fissions you could spontaneously create exotic elements.
