If it doesn't bother you don't worry about it. The best way to compare is
get hold of a handheld meter and compare some reading on more average areas.
Example, if the sun is shining on green grass, a medium brown fence, or a
gray conrete walkway. Compare the ambient light with teh reflective reading
of the EOS3. Granted it be be off a bit, but these are close to an 18% gray
card and you should see about the same reading. I typically read ambient
light using a group of cypress trees and my EOS3 is dead on. THen again, I
had this underexposure problem and sent it to Canon for a checkup. Mine was
an early model bought in 1999 and underexposure was more severe than what
you describe.
