The Transmigration of Timothy Archer was finished. It was published after his death, but he did complete it.

It's also not really related to VALIS at all. I still don't really understand why people call it "the third novel in the VALIS" trilogy. It explores some of the same philosophical and religious themes, but has no connection otherwise.

The "second book", The Divine Invasion, feels closer to VALIS (and it's pretty good, I'd recommend it!), especially because of the gnostic themes. But even that is distinctly different.

VALIS honestly stands entirely on its own. PKD never wrote another book quite like it -- in fact, nobody has.

Thank you for this clarification - I don't think I ever read Invasion (despite reading relative dross like Frolix) - so I might revisit.
