How about the following:
A: I am fine, how are you?
B: I am fine too, thanks.
A: I am fine, how are you?
B: I am also fine, thanks.
A: I am fine, how are you?
B: I am fine as well, thanks.
I feel like this might be one of the contexts where it doesn't really work well with all of the phrases... Am I wrong?

They are not grammatically wrong and they all make sense, but "I'm fine too, thanks" is a set expression, so I wouldn't use also or as well here.
