In the early years of the NomCom, I believe there were a small number of cases of a 3 year term but only for an AD who had already successfully served for 2 years.
There were two such cases - Jeff Schiller and myself. The situation was that in 1997 (IIRC) we had four areas with a single AD, and the IESG told the nomcom that the imbalance was strange. At its option, the nomcom could extend the term of a sitting AD that wasn’t up for renewal/replacement by one year to even things out. They did. In 2001, I resigned, and I think Jeff resigned in 1999.
