    How do I add a class to every third post,
    similar to how even/odd/alt is added to posts?

    You can try it with a counter. Here is a very simple loop that gives every third post a class of "third-post";

    <?php $counter =0; ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?><!-- begin of loop -->
<?php
  ++$counter;
  if($counter == 3) {
    $postclass = 'class="third-post"';
    $counter = 0;
  } else { $postclass = ''; }
?>
<div id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php echo $postclass; ?>>
<?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry ยป'); ?>
</div>
<?php endwhile; ?><!-- end of loop -->
