Why is it that at the very bottom of the gearing, when on the hardest gear, my shifter can't click three times but after shifting down twice it can click three times. Is my shifters supposed to shift three times?

How are you shifting without pedaling? It gets tougher because you’re putting way too much pressure on the cable and derailure since nothing is moving.
Does it shift correctly?
Maybe because you have 11 gears which is 3+3+3+2. (probably not, it may have to do with the mechanism inside or cable tension)
Officially these Shimano shifters can only shift two gears for the whole lever throw, but in my experience even with the GRX 400 shifters, if you push it all the way to the end when your shifting at least from the 2nd gear, it just moves the mechanism enough to initiate a third shift, though out on the road, I rarely ever actually use it since it requires you to push the lever so far in, that it kinda hurts my wrist over time.
