Unfortunately once all the 3 iCloud accounts have been created on your device, you cannot create any more regardless of what you do. You will need to re-use one of the accounts that you have already created or create your new account on another iOS device or Mac computer.

If the Apple ID that you are trying to enter is correct and is an ID that has already been created you would not get that message regardless of whether you have created three accounts on that device or not.
