We present exact solutions for the zero-temperature partition function of the $q$-state Potts antiferromagnet (equivalently, the chromatic polynomial $P$) on tube sections of the simple cubic lattice of fixed transverse size $L_x \times L_y$ and arbitrarily great length $L_z$, for sizes $L_x \times L_y = 2 \times 3$ and $2 \times 4$ and boundary conditions (a) $(FBC_x,FBC_y,FBC_z)$ and (b) $(PBC_x,FBC_y,FBC_z)$, where $FBC$ ($PBC$) denote free (periodic) boundary conditions. In the limit of infinite-length, $L_z \to \infty$, we calculate the resultant ground state degeneracy per site $W$ (= exponent of the ground-state entropy). Generalizing $q$ from ${\mathbb Z}_+$ to ${\mathbb C}$, we determine the analytic structure of $W$ and the related singular locus ${\cal B}$ which is the continuous accumulation set of zeros of the chromatic polynomial. For the $L_z \to \infty$ limit of a given family of lattice sections, $W$ is analytic for real $q$ down to a value $q_c$. We determine the values of $q_c$ for the lattice sections considered and address the question of the value of $q_c$ for a $d$-dimensional Cartesian lattice. Analogous results are presented for a tube of arbitrarily great length whose transverse cross section is formed from the complete bipartite graph $K_{m,m}$.
