What "original D&D" are you talking about: Chaimail? That was a different game, which was the precursor to D&D.
I have both the Basic D&D book and the AD&D books out in my garage: I assure you, they both have more than 3 classes.

In the original 1st edition Dungeons & Dragons boxed set, there were only three main classes: the Cleric, the Fighting man, and the Magic-User.
The first supplement, Greyhawk, added the Thief as a fourth main class, as well as the Paladin as a Fighting Man subclasses and AD&D 1st edition introduced a few more.
The 2nd edition of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons attempted to streamline what had become a hodgepodge of rules that only applied in specific cases in 1st edition.
As such, it sought to simplify the rules and straighten out contradictions. Character classes were divided into four groups or "metaclasses": Warrior, Wizard, Priest, and Rogue in 1989
