Your problem is the way you have defined f3. Define f3 as follows:

f3[x_]:=Which[x==0,1,0<x, Abs[Sin[x]/x]]

This should give you what you want although it will not be a plot of sin(x)/x

If I were to plot sin(x)/x I would define the function as follows

f[0.]:=1;
f[x_]:=Sin[x]/x;

Your function differs from sin(x)/x in two ways. It is always positive and it is not defined for x<0.
