Your command does something very similar to what you want: it expands to the list of filenames that are not exactly: a, b, or c. If you test, you see:

$ touch a b c d
$ ls *[!abc]*
d

But if you create another file and re-test:

$ touch argh
$ ls *[!abc]*
argh d

To exclude file names that contain those characters anywhere, use:

$ shopt -s extglob
$ ls !(*[abc]*)
d

Another way of doing it (again with extended globs) would be to explicitly list out the patterns:

$ ls !(*a*|*b*|*c*)
d
