I would call it "a diagonal line through the center of a rectangular prism"

I'm asking because we use the word "avaruuslävistäjä"  ("space diagonal") here in Finland to describe a 3d diagonal.

Apparently 'space diagonal' exists in english also, but I have never heard it used.  Triagonal and volume diagonals are also appropriate.
