Expand using distribution. Start by expanding the first two terms. Then do that again using the result of the first expansion and the remaining term. As follows
%281-a%29%281-b%29%281-c%29
%281%281-b%29+-a%281-b%29%29+%2A+%281-c%29
%281-b+-a%2Bab%29+%281-c%29
1+-c+-b+%2Bbc+-a+%2Bac+%2Bab+-abc
1+-a+-+b+-c+%2Bab+%2B+ac+%2B+bc+-+abc
