Does anyone know the status of the WWVA 1170 Wheeling WV tower rebuild?

Are they still using a makeshift antenna? It sounds like it.

Will the three downed towers ever be rebuilt?

The three downed towers have all been rebuilt. Last I heard, they were still operating ND (50 day/12.5 kW nights) from the first of the rebuilt towers while getting the new phasor in place and the directional pattern proofed.

Even for a company with a sizable engineering staff, CC has been swamped with emergency AM engineering work, most recently in Memphis where the WDIA 1070 array is underwater, so I'm not sure if the company's AM gurus have finished the work in Wheeling yet.
