Recently, upon re-adding those 2 drives (after the zero-superblock) a
third drive dropped out after 5-10 minutes of syncing. I then did a
zero-superblock on the third drive and tried to re-add it - which
failed.

If you had two drives failing, why didn't you let these spares take over the job?
Roy,
AFAIK, they were mistakenly labeled as spares, *after* the failure
occurred. sdh, sda, and sde were original members of his array.
