The Mishnah Nedarim (90b) says that even though originally a woman was believed to say that she was Mezanah and is therefore forbidden to her husband, afterwards Chazal said that a woman is not believed because we suspect that she may be saying this in order to force her husband to give her a Get. This would be the ruling in cases 1,2 and 3. See EH 115:6.
If the husband is aware of clear evidence that she was Mezanh (in a situation where there is no question of fabrication), he would be dutybound to divorce her.
