You use Among..when you have to choose 1 from a group of more than 2..

" among " should be used when we are talking about number of things or a group of things:

Among A, B and C "Z" is common.
Among Boys traveling is always an attraction.
etc..

Can you share the sentence from where you picked the "among A, B, and C " and "among A,B or C" on the first look it seems the "among A,B or C" is incorrect.

Please share your views.

if "between"/"among" is used with a preposition, that preposition should be "and". it's never correct to use these words with "or".

however, you don't need a preposition. for instance, it's perfectly ok to write "between the two brothers" or "among the three sisters".
