Hi Karen,
Your make an interesting observation that the EOS 3 doesn't AF
well with a lens slower than f/4! I think the central sensor
only detects horizontal lines when using your 75-300 lens or
the 28-135 IS
Did you try any shots with the lens aperture stopped down using
either tripod to flash to remove camera shake?
Cheers
