Feb 14 at 13:18 comment added frelk Thanks, that's very helpful. I think I could relax "closed form" to "easily evaluated with a computer." For example, if I need to do MCMC for an hour, that is probably too much. But if I all I need to do is evaluate the normal CDF or maybe even a numerical integral of a relatively simple expression that contains a term with the normal CDF, that is ok. Thanks!
Feb 14 at 4:55 comment added JimB To echo what @MattF. mentioned, there won't be nice closed-form expressions mainly because of the need to integrate a normal CDF. The special cases for where there is a closed-form are likely not very useful. For example if all of the means are $\mu$ and variances are $\sigma^2$ and $X_1$ and $X_2$ are both independent of $X_3$, then the conditional expectation is $\mu+\rho_{12} \sigma/\sqrt{\pi}$. If $X_2$ is independent of both $X_1$ and $X_3$ (with as before all means and variances are equal), the conditional mean is $\mu-\rho_{13} \sigma/\sqrt{\pi}$. There might be other special cases.
