You only get two, availability and partition tolerance.
Consistency is more akin to an eventual consistency model. There may be two blocks found at the same time that are sent out to the network. At some point, nodes which accepted the minority block will re-org and become consistent with the rest of the network.
Re-orgs are why you wait for X confirmations before trusting that a transaction is finalized.
