I don’t think that even Saruman was able to perceive the presence of the 3 rings. Not even Sauron, a more powerful ainu whose will was bent in finding them during the Wars of Elves and Sauron, was able to find out specifically the bearers of the 3 (he only thought that the 2 greatest of the Eldar, Galadriel and Gil-Galad had one or all of them). So my guess is that Saruman, a maiar with decreased power, would not be able to know it.
