In a word No
And in fact the oneworld explorer rules explicitly state
3 Continent Fare is only offered for travel originating in Asia, Europe/Middle East and North America
Conceptualize it?
As Himeno said - not until a oneworld airline flies Africa-Americas (North or South)
Or, if they allowed a trans-Atlantic surface segment on ex-Africa itineraries (like they do on ex-South West Pacific itineraries)

As an aside - it IS possible to construct an ex-South West Pacific 3-continent itinerary (a trivial example is SYD-SCL,JNB-SYD)
But there is no fare for such an itinerary, so presumably one would be charged the 4-continent fare
