a zip with three slides / a three-slide zip
I'm having trouble visualising this. Double-opening zips are relatively normal, on anoraks or travel bags, so you can open it from the top or the bottom.
But 3-way? Mounted in a triangle? Wouldn't that need 3 zips? Wouldn't 3 possibilities for opening make it even more complicated to grab your gun quickly? ...
Anyway, searches in several dictionaries revealed "slide" or "slot" as the most popular translation of corredera (and definitions in Spanish gave ranura, the opening). I even found a description of a bath screen as "con tres correderas" (3 sliding panels?).
corredera. f. Ranura por la que se desliza una pieza

"Three-way" can also mean "by three different manners":
... Three-way zip collar (zipped up, rolled down, open); ...

Looking up parts of a zip, the thingie you grab to open or close the zip is called a "slide". Hence, my option.
Unfortunately, the references on internet didn't have any pictures!
1.1.1 Delantero: Rectos, unidos a la pieza de la zona superior y cerrados por cremalleras con separador y doble cursor en los costados, unión de delantero con espalda, lleva una cremallera con tres correderas para facilitar el acceso al arma y defensa.
