Lorenzo Valla's annotations on the New Testament, as published by Erasmus, included only about one third of one page on 1 John:
Translation: And these three are one: Greek is And these three are in one. εἰς τὸ ἕν εἰσι (eis to en eisi)
It is interesting that Valla notes the difference between "are one" and "are in one" but does not address the elephant in the room, namely the non-inclusion of "Father, Word, and Holy Spirit." We could speculate about why he does not mention it, but suffice to say that he does not discuss it.
