Has it ever happened? If it's happened more than once (or at all), it's not the rarest.

I probably got the craziest O-O# ever:

Instead Of Taking A Pawn As A Checkmate Take A Queen As A Checkmate And Your 3 3 3 Bishops Has The Be The Farthest Square Defend The E5 Square.

1 In 684 Billion. Because Take The Queen. 3 Bishops At The Farthest Square. Defending The E5 Square. Not 1 In 342 Billion.

Can You Get Rarer Than 1 In 684 Billion?

Yes. If a checkmate has been played it's not the rarest. Zero is rarer than one.

As someone else said, we have to define rare first.
