Terry Pratchett had a good go at a one act structure. His narratives often tended towards a certain flatness in which all parts of the tale have approximately equal tension and about the same value to the story as a whole. They tended, in reality, to actually have two acts one that started at the beginning and took the majority of the book and a much shorter one that showed people getting back to "business as usual"; that was often a couple of pages or less.
