Make each point a separate data list and repeat the PointSize:
ListPlot[List /@ {{1, 1}, {2, 2}, {3, 3}},
PlotStyle -> (Directive[PointSize[0.02], #] & /@
{Red, Green, Blue})]
Although you can use a List instead of Directive:
ListPlot[List /@ {{1, 1}, {2, 2}, {3, 3}},
PlotStyle -> ({PointSize[0.02], #} & /@
{Red, Green, Blue})]
Alternatively,
ListPlot[List /@ {{1, 1}, {2, 2}, {3, 3}},
PlotStyle -> {Red, Green, Blue},
PlotMarkers -> {Automatic, Medium}]
