If I resize the Eterm to two or more lines, ^^^three :the RPROMPT reappears. Sorry, you can't. If your term says it has fewer than three lines or is missing other essential features zsh makes itself use a reduced line editor mode. You don't have a right prompt, you have single line editing rather than multi-line editing, and you miss a couple of other features. The reason is that multi-line editing without three or more lines can easily become unusable with screen space taken up by continuation prompts, status line (e.g. for history searches) and other features.
