I can give an argument of "$3\implies 1$" as:
Since $H_n(0)\to H_n(C.)$ is an isomorphism, and $H_n(0)=0$, then $H_n(C.)=0$, and which means $Z_n(C.)=B_n(C.)$ by the definition of quotient module, namely $C.$ is exact at $C_n$.
However, this seems to be ugly, because my argument is through $2.$ in fact. And my question is, how can I give a "direct" proof?
