I am not a teacher.It looks like I'm someone who if asked to go shopping and buy one carton of milk, and if they have eggs, to get six; I would come back home with six cartons of milk.
The American Heritage Dictionary has a long usage note about "nor". They see nothing wrong with your "nor", saying only that "or" is more common in that setting. I don't have dictionaries to sell, so I can come down on one side or the other, and I have come down on the side of simplicity.
