If you mean by "major plays" the ones which are studied in your school, check your school's curriculum. For many people, these are the only plays by Shakespeare they know by name.

If you mean the plays that are most often performed, quoted and filmed, there are way more than three. Certainly many of Shakespeare's 38 plays are rarely talked about. The plays best known are the histories Henry V, Richard III and Henry IV Part 1, the comedies As You Like It, Much Ado About Nothing, The Taming of the Shrew, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Twelfth Night, The Merchant of Venice and The Tempest, and the tragedies Hamlet, Othello, Macbeth, Julius Caesar, Romeo and Juliet and King Lear.
