Using effective-range expansion for the two-body amplitudes may generate spurious sub-threshold poles outside of the convergence range of the expansion. In the infinite volume, the emergence of such poles leads to the inconsistencies in the three-body equations, e.g., to the breakdown of unitarity. We investigate the effect of the spurious poles on the three-body quantization condition in a finite volume and show that it leads to a peculiar dependence of the energy levels on the box size L. Furthermore, within a simple model, it is demonstrated that the procedure for the removal of these poles, which was recently proposed in ref. [1] in the infinite volume, can be adapted to the finite-volume calculations. The structure of the exact energy levels is reproduced with an accuracy that systematically improves order by order in the EFT expansion. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
