According to the Socket documentation, it does support SSL 3.0. See the following:

SslProtocol As String

Selects the secure protocol to be used for secure (SSL/TLS) connections. Possible values are:

    default
    TLS 1.2
    TLS 1.1
    TLS 1.0
    SSL 3.0
    TLS 1.2 or higher
    TLS 1.1 or higher
    TLS 1.0 or higher

The default value is "default" which will choose the, which allows for the protocol to be selected dynamically at runtime based on the requirements of the server. Choosing an exact protocol will cause the connection to fail unless that exact protocol is negotiated. It is better to choose "X or higher" than an exact protocol. The "default" is effectively "SSL 3.0 or higher".
