A SIM for any EU country ought to allow free roaming to any other EU
country, so the O/P won't need three SIMs.

    And for the EU you probably don't need to rent a SIM, but just buy
one, probably with a pre-paid plan.
    Ken said "I'll be in Europe (Spain, France, Italy)...". If he visits
them in that order, Carlos may be able to give some suggestions/pointers
for Spain. If Ken could indicate how much minutes/'texts'/GB he would
need per unit of time, that would help.

Orange had a nice offer two years ago, but I don't know currently. Almost unlimited usage for 50 or 60 euros, for a month.
The best method is not asking the locals, but entering a shop that tends to multiple brands in an immigrant district. My cousin did that in Barcelona and surprised me by finding a very good deal I did not know about.
Just a note: they will ask you to show an ID. This is counter-terrorism measures since 9-11 and 11M
