The major third can't be the eleventh, but if you flatten the eleventh
(a.k.a, the fourth) you get a note enharmonic to the major third.

For example, look at C super locrian (a.k.a., the C altered scale) which is
the seventh mode of the C# ascending melodic minor scale. The notes are:

C, Db, Eb, Fb, Gb, Ab, Bb, C

The fourth of the scale, Fb, is enharmonic to E natural, the note we would
usually think of as the major third.
