Padma,

I guess C/2020 X3 could be called an eclipse comet since it could only
have been observed from the ground during an eclipse. It wasn't
discovered during the eclipse though so I'm not sure whether that makes
it just another comet seen during a total eclipse. I'm not sure what the
exact definition is!

Nick.
