The Hamiltonian of a system of three quantum mechanical particles moving on
the three-dimensional lattice $\Z^3$ and interacting via zero-range attractive
potentials is considered. For the two-particle energy operator $h(k),$ with
$k\in \T^3=(-\pi,\pi]^3$ the two-particle quasi-momentum, the existence of a
unique positive eigenvalue below the bottom of the continuous spectrum of
$h(k)$ for $k\neq0$ is proven, provided that $h(0)$ has a zero energy
resonance. The location of the essential and discrete spectra of the
three-particle discrete Schr\"{o}dinger operator $H(K), K\in \T^3$ being the
three-particle quasi-momentum, is studied. The existence of infinitely many
eigenvalues of H(0) is proven. It is found that for the number $N(0,z)$ of
eigenvalues of H(0) lying below $z<0$ the following limit exists $$ \lim_{z\to
0-} \frac {N(0,z)}{\mid \log\mid z\mid\mid}=\cU_0 $$ with $\cU_0>0$. Moreover,
for all sufficiently small nonzero values of the three-particle quasi-momentum
$K$ the finiteness of the number $ N(K,\tau_{ess}(K))$ of eigenvalues of $H(K)$
below the essential spectrum is established and the asymptotics for the number
$N(K,0)$ of eigenvalues lying below zero is given.
