Over the last weeks, I have applied for internships in various companies. A few days ago, Company A got back to me with an offer I like, which I accepted.
I had 2 interviews scheduled with Company B and C for next week, which I both cancelled by informing them I have accepted another offer in the meantime.
However, my question is: what do I do with companies D, E and F, which I have applied to, but which have not yet responded to my applications at all? These are not companies that have ghosted me, but it has simply been quite little time since I have applied and there are high chances I will hear from them in the next few days. Should I email them now saying I accepted another offer? Should I wait until they send me an email and, if they invite me for an interview, tell them I accepted another offer? Since they are companies I have interest in, I might want to work with them in the future and want to find the best way to keep doors open.
Thank you in advance.

No need.
In normal business relationships it would be a common courtesy and appreciated as such, but for some reason most recruiters operate quite differently and are lacking even the most basic courtesy around communication. They won't bother with a "no thanks", so you don't need to bother either.
If someone actually contacts you, you can simply reply with "sorry, I already got a different job".

That is the most professional thing to do. You'll leave a good impression that may help you somewhere down the road.
It takes just a few seconds and there is absolutely no downside at all.

It was good of you to be courteous by informing in advance. This potentially saved some work/time for the recruiter and interviewer.
what do I do with companies D, E and F, which I have applied to, but which have not yet responded to my applications at all?
Are you still looking to hear back from them, and expecting a potentially better opportunities compared to what Company A has to offer? You have also mentioned this:
These are not companies that have ghosted me, but it has simply been quite little time since I have applied and there are high chances I will hear from them in the next few days.
Even if you haven't heard back (but have a high chance of hearing), it shouldn't hurt to wait till you can, and review from among the best options.

I had 2 interviews scheduled with Company B and C for next week, which I both cancelled by informing them I have accepted another offer in the meantime.
It was good of you to be courteous by informing in advance. This potentially saved some work/time for the recruiter and interviewer.
what do I do with companies D, E and F, which I have applied to, but which have not yet responded to my applications at all?
Are you still looking to hear back from them, and expecting a potentially better opportunities compared to what Company A has to offer? You have also mentioned this:
These are not companies that have ghosted me, but it has simply been quite little time since I have applied and there are high chances I will hear from them in the next few days.
