I wrote earlier in the week that you should bleed the clutch system
again and check for air. Since you haven't noticed any leaks, this is
probably not the problem, but having thought about it some more, I
remembered something else that happened to my TR3A.
Depress the clutch and notice whether the rod on the slave cylinder is
moving. If it is, then it is possible that the pin (bolt) that holds the
clutch release fork to the clutch release fork shaft has broken. This
can cause the symptoms you described, and requires removal of the
transmission to repair. Good luck.
