I was doing a multinomial logistic regression and after running the
mlogit command I used the listcoef to get the estimates for all
combinations of outcome categories. But I only get two groups
comparisons. Please see the results below.

Make sure you have the latest and greatest versions of both Stata and 
spost9, the Long & Freese package that contains listcoef. On my computer, it is
. which listcoef, all
c:\ado\plus\l\listcoef.ado
*! version 1.9.3 2010-12-21 scott long
Maybe you have the version that appeared way back when in the Stata 
Technical Bulletin. If so, I would probably uninstall first and then 
install -spost9-.
Unfortunately, there are assorted old versions of Long and Freese 
commands still floating around at STB and SSC, e.g. listcoef, 
fitstat. Unless you have a really old version of Stata, ignore them 
and instead do
-findit spost9-
