So I just started playing eve (complicated as hell)

And I noticed that there are 3 bars of health, shields, armor, and frame/ship or something.

How one dust doesn't have something similar?

It would be shields, armor which all currently have and then the dropsuit frame which could have 20, 40, and 60 hp for light,medium and heavy dropsuits.

Not that it's too important but it makes sense and it's also a small hp buff to dropsuits. Heck, give it to vehicles too, no?

The clones have 10hp. It's just not shown.

There is technically a third HP stat that is not visible in any of the UI in Dust. That's the base HP of your clone body. It's about 10 HP if I recall correctly. Even if your armor is down to 0, there is a chance your clone may have survived and you can continue fighting until your naked clone somehow suffers a hit from a stray bullet which then puts you into a bleedout phase. It has happened and still does with regularity. You may have noticed it happening to yourself at one point. It has for me.

I'm guessing that since 10 HP is extremely small, CCP probably didn't think it was necessary to have it as a visible stat at the time and that you would likely be dead anyways if your clone body got scraped by a bullet after your armor reaches zero.

Eve Online on the other hand uses the hull HP instead. Your ship is basically a hull with armor plates and shield installed on top of the hull. It is generally believed that if the hull is breached, your ship is gone and you get ejected. Your pod has the same thing except that if the hull is breached, your clone body is automatically dead because all that is standing between your clone body and the vacuum of space is the hull of the pod.

Even better - any item/module have own HP. If you uses overdrive or just your ship explode all ejected items take dmg and can be destroyed :)

In eve its shields, armor and hull. Technically we have that third bar in dust too - representing clone hp which is always 10 (and it's how some people stay alive even with 0/0 hp) even vehicles have it too (I think it's 75 hull hp for vehicles).

To further explain it, overheated modules in Eve Online transfer some of their heat onto any other modules next to them which is kind of like a heat sink. This can extend the life of the module while overheated before it is burnt out.

Clone HP is actually the HP of your dead body.

You get 0/0 because proficiency/damage mods/falloff allow damage to have decimal values. The HP in your HUD is rounded.

Nope, they're different stats

Here's the DB page for the Cal Assault for example

On the right panel you can see " Health (hull/body)10 HP", which is the tiny margin of health you can survive with. If this was the health downed clones have, a single bullet grazing a body at beyond optimal would be enough to terminate the clone, but if you've tried to terminate clones with a gun before you've probably noticed it takes quite a lot more than 10hp worth of bullets to off them.

A bit further down on the left of the page there's another attribute: "mBleedOutHealth200", which is the same for every suit as far as I can tell. That makes more sense for the amount of lead/plasma/lasers you need to pump into a corpse to make it disappear, but it has some kind of special treatment with splash damage where any splash will instantly terminate it, even stuff that does less than 200 hp.
