Based off the theory I can't see any reason that an example would not exist. Specifically, the fact that A matrix is orthogonal only implies that the possible eigenvalues are $\pm 1$. However, we don't know anything about the sizes of the eigenspaces.

Nonetheless, it is not hard to show that a 2x2 orthogonal matrix must in fact be diagonalizable. So an example has to at least be 3x3.

    They are all diagonalisable over $\Bbb C$, but in general not over $\Bbb R$. For instance, a rotation by $90^{\circ}$ in the plane is not diagonalisable. – Olivier Bégassat May 09 '13 at 00:32

If $A$ is real orthogonal, its eigenvalues must have moluli $1$, but they are not necessarily $\pm1$. Also, when you mention diagonalisation, what matrices are used to diagonalise $A$? If you mean diagonalisation by a real invertible matrix, this is not always possible: $P$ is real implies that $P^{-1}AP$ is real. So, if $A$ has nonreal eigenvalues, its eigenvalue matrix cannot be equal to $P^{-1}AP$ for any real $P$. In fact, every $2\times2$ rotation matrix that is not equal to $\pm I$ is not diagonalisable over $\mathbb{R}$.

If you mean diagonalisation by a perhaps complex matrix, then it is known that every real orthogonal matrix is diagonalisable. More generally, every real or complex normal matrix (including real orthogonal matrix) is unitarily diagonalisable over $\mathbb{C}$

Hint: It depends on the field you are working over. Look again at the $2\times 2$.
