Never.

For instance, bases loaded, clean hit to outfield, ball is thrown back in to an infielder, who makes a play on a runner. Runner is safe at 3B, but ball is overthrown (not out-of-play). Does runner have to stay at third, or can all runners continue running after successive overthrows (happens all the time!).

Runner can run until the cows come home.

Or- bases loaded, caught fly ball, runners tag - can more than one runner score if the ball comes back into the pitcher, but then the pitcher overthrows to 3B?

Ditto. No restrictions AT ALL on running after a batted ball (at least until LBR comes into play, if it does).

Or-bases loaded, hit to infield, all advance one base. As ball is then returned to the pitcher, the pitcher is overthrown. Can runner on third advance?

Same thing... yes.
