You can use Distribute (or Outer) to produce all possible A, B, C. Then 
you can use @@@ (Apply at level 1) to apply the Boolean operators:

 Transpose[Module[{tab=Distribute[Table[{False,True},{3}],List,List]},
  Join[Transpose[tab],{And @@@ tab},{Implies[#1 || #2, #3] & @@@ tab}]]]

Then use TableForm to display with headings:

 TableForm[%, TableHeadings -> 
   {None, {A, B, C, A && B && C, Implies[A || B, C]}}]

Cheers,
Paul
