i guess no . as any one of the vector cannot be the sum of other two vector ( as its not in the same plane ) so negative of that vector also won't be in the same plane ...

no as , if sum of three non coplanars has to be zero then one has to be the negative of sum of other two vectors thus has to be in the same plane
