contents Improved two-body and three-body potentials for helium have been used to calculate from first principles the third density and acoustic virial coefficients for both $^4$He and $^3$He. For the third density virial coefficient $C(T)$, uncertainties have been reduced by a factor of 4--5 compared to the previous state of the art; the accuracy of first-principles $C(T)$ now exceeds that of the best experiments by more than two orders of magnitude. The range of calculations has been extended to temperatures as low as 0.5~K. For the third acoustic virial coefficient $γ_a(T)$, we applied the Schlessinger Point Method, which can calculate $γ_a$ and its uncertainty based on the $C(T)$ data, overcoming some limitations of direct path-integral calculation. The resulting $γ_a$ are calculated at temperatures down to 0.5~K; they are consistent with available experimental data but have much smaller uncertainties. The first-principles data presented here will enable improvement of primary temperature and pressure metrology based on gas properties.
