I am surprised that worked. svnadmin takes paths, not URL's. So command
woud usually be:

svnadmin create C:\svn3

That went fine. I was also able to add a test file with the command line

If the command line works with that URL, then it should also work with
JavaHL. Open the preferences and go to Team -> SVN and make sure that
JavaHL is the client interface.
