In 2020, we filed the taxes as married filing jointly. Based on our income, we were ineligible for the 3rd Stimulus Check. In 2021, we are filing as married filing separately.

Yes. Enter $0 is neither of your received a stimulus payment in 2020.
The 2020 payment was an advance on 2021 taxes, Any payment differences are adjusted for on the 2021 return. It's possible to claim a 2021 recovery rebate credit on the 2021 return even if you were ineligible in 2020 because you now qualify based on your 2021 income and filing status.
