My best guess is that he does not like the litter you are using. Most cats actually prefer sand (regular outside sand) so I suggest you try that. In the other boxes try different types of litter to see what he prefers. Also, the depth of the litter may be a problem or the size of the litter box. You can refer to this article for more information. ( https://drsophiayin.com/blog/entry/what-to-do-when-your-cat-poops-outside-the-box/ ) I know you said he was checked by the vet but was he dewormed? Worms can cause this type of behavior as well.
