Maybe you'll be better off using SEC (simple event correlator) [1] and
using very simple event handlers that within Nagios that write textual
descriptions of the events of interest into a named pipe that the SEC
process is listening on, and then have SEC execute the real action that
you want to happen when those three hosts go down.  You're trying to do
some fairly non-trivial event correlation already when you say the event
handler needs to execute after three host failures and I don't think
that Nagios by itself has the facilities to be able to do something
like that cleanly.
