    What JJ said. VBS doesn't do datatypes. You have
two choices: Convert each array element to variant
when assigning it, or don't use an array. I typically
use a character-delimited string that can be converted
to array easily by the caller:

Dim c1
c1 = Chr(1)

s = "one" & c1 & "2" & c1 & "three"
a = Split(s, c1)

For i = 0 to 2
   MsgBox a(i)
next

   The caller can convert the string to a variant array in one
simple line. You don't have to convert the string to variant
until the final act of your function: Get3Numbers = CVar(s)

  If you want to return an array then you have to convert each
array member individually.
