A three-pronged spear is called a trident. A three-pronged fork is just a fork. It might be a pitchfork, or a table (salad, dinner or seafood) fork, or even a serving fork. Placement on the table and relative size are the guides, and they say more about the fork (and suggest a name like dinner or seafood) than the number of tines.
