1 and 3 are fine. 2 doesn't mean what you want it to mean!
"There" is simply an introductory word for this type of sentence construction. From what I've read, most other languages don't have an equivalent, and it's pretty much an idiom in English.

It is not the subject of the sentence, but merely an introductory word.
