That pin(RA3) is used for 3 other internal peripherals.
Odds are real good, you'll have to disable those uses of the pin as well.
Just checked your 'code'...and
Also unless you really, really have a Low Voltage programmer use the NOLVP fuse! Otherwise you'll have a problem.

Quote from the data sheet:

"If low-voltage programming is enabled (LVP = 1), the
MCLR Reset function is automatically enabled and
cannot be disabled. See Section 7.4 “MCLR” for more
information."

You have LVP selected, so MCLR cannot be turned off.
Are you sure you want LVP?. It is a rarely used option.

Best Wishes
