Eugene,
This is one approach:
hammtest[p : {_, _, _}, t : {_, _, _}] := Count[Abs[t - p], 0] > 1;
Select[someList, hammtest[#, {0, 0, 1}] &]
{{0, 0, 0}, {0, 0, 1}, {0, 0, 2}, {0, 1, 1}, {0, 2, 1}, {1, 0, 1}, {2, 0, 1}}
On this test list:
testlist =
Table[{Random[Integer, {0, 2}], Random[Integer, {0, 2}],
Random[Integer, {0, 2}]}, {10000}];
and on a Pentium 166 MH PC, the timing was
Select[testlist, hammtest[#, {0, 0, 1}] &]; // Timing
{5.82 Second, Null}
