R3 has area 0 also and this router needs an "area 0 authentication
message-digest" statement. You can also put authentication on the
virtual link. Area 1 and area 3 do not need authentication in this
scenario.

Search the archives for complete configurations. This question has been
answered before in some detail. Search on ospf;authentication.
