The different namespaces preclude there being such a record additionally
it is noted that NSEC3 will never appear in the types bit map.  Similarly
RRSIG can’t appear by itself.

   o The Type Bit Maps field of every NSEC3 RR in a signed zone MUST
indicate the presence of all types present at the original owner
name, except for the types solely contributed by an NSEC3 RR
itself. Note that this means that the NSEC3 type itself will
never be present in the Type Bit Maps.
