May 21, 2015 at 20:16 comment added user47305 Let $S \subset \mathbb P^3$ be a smooth quartic and let $X \to \mathbb P^3$ be the blow up a bunch of disjoint curves in $S$ (we can find as many as we want, eg if $S$ is elliptic). The strict transform of $S$ on $X$ is anticanonical, but won't be ample if you blow up enough curves.
May 21, 2015 at 20:14 comment added J.C. Ottem Can't you just take a 3-fold where $-K_X$ has a smooth section (e.g., is bpf) but not ample and let $S\in |-K_X|$? For example, blow-up $P^3$ along the 16 nodes of a Kummer surface.

May 21, 2015 at 19:58 comment added Daniel Litt I thought about it for a while and couldn't come up with one!
May 21, 2015 at 19:44 comment added Francesco Polizzi Is there any example of a smooth K3 surface $S$ appearing as a non-ample anticanonical divisor in a smooth $3$-fold?

May 21, 2015 at 19:15 comment added Daniel Litt No worries, still a very nice answer!
May 21, 2015 at 19:15 comment added Francesco Polizzi Sorry, you are right. I misread the question, and I have only proved that $S$ cannot be a hyperplane section of a threefold (in this case the threefold is clearly Fano).
May 21, 2015 at 19:13 comment added Daniel Litt I must still be missing something. First of all, to conclude an equality on restriction to S implies anything on V, you need amplitude of S to use Lefschetz. But that's what we're trying to prove. Second of all, you only show K_V=-S|_S, again, why is S|_S ample at all?
May 21, 2015 at 19:07 comment added Francesco Polizzi By adjunction formula $$(K_V+S)|_S = K_S = \mathcal{O}_S,$$ hence $K_V=-$hyperplane class.
May 21, 2015 at 19:03 comment added Daniel Litt Maybe I'm missing something easy--why does the threefold have to be Fano? Obviously the anticanonical is effective by hypothesis, but why ample? (That said +1, this is a very nice answer.)
