As the batter had legally completed his time at bat, he's now considered a batter-runner for the purposes of interference. When a runner interferes, he's to be called out and all other runners returned, unless the umpire feels he committed a deliberate act to prevent a double play. Then, both the batter-runner and the runner being played on are called out. I don't think there's a way to stretch this play to include a DP, so the batter-runner is out and R3 is returned.
