You could search the forum to see if there are persons who came to the uk later than 3 months into their EC validity.
I ame to the UK one month into my EC validity but only for two weeks. My plan was just to initialise the visa, start checking out the job market and to make sure that when time came to apply for ILR I would not fall short of the 4 years residence requirement. However, my return was delayed more than I thought and I returned six months later, I got a job two months (thank God) before I applied for my extension and I had no problems getting the extension.
I am not sure I have seen any written guidance from the HO that says you must enter the country within three months of the EC date, but have a browse through the forum and the Ho website to set your mind at ease.
