I’ve also found that for a shortcode-only field, you should make sure “Formatting” for the field is set to “Convert HTML into tags” and not “No formatting”.

I had a text field set to:

[contact-form-7 id=”3650″ title=”My Contact Form”]

and when using:

echo do_shortcode(get_field('myfield'));

it would display as:

[contact-form-7 404 “Not Found”]

It was only when I changed “Formatting” to “Convert HTML into tags” that the shortcode was expanded properly.
