Here's one approach.  It uses the mvfind function to see if each attachment type is present.  It then filters out the events with all three types.

...
| eval has_txt=mvfind(Attachment, "\.txt"), has_html=mvfind(Attachment, "\.html"), has_png=mvfind(Attachment, "\.png")
| where NOT (has_txt AND has_html AND has_png)
