    I want to get all posts from a category on the archive page

    //get current category id
$current_cat = get_query_var('cat');

$args = array( 'category' => $current_cat, 'post_type' =>  'post' );

$postslist = get_posts( $args );

foreach ($postslist as $post) :  setup_postdata($post); 

$test_meta = get_post_meta($post->ID);

echo the_title();

endforeach;

    Each post has three custom fields which I need to create an array like the one below but I’m not sure how

    //create array
$var = array(
    array("custom_field1", "custom_field2", "custom_field3"),
    array("custom_field1", "custom_field2", "custom_field3"),

);

    See if this will do what you want (put your own meta_keys in the $keys_to_save array):

    //get current category id
   $current_cat = get_query_var('cat');
   $keys_to_save = array('key1','key2','key3');
   $args = array( 'category' => $current_cat, 'post_type' =>  'post' );
   $postslist = get_posts( $args );
   $var = array();
   foreach ($postslist as $post) :  setup_postdata($post);
      $test_meta = get_post_meta($post->ID);
      $vals = array();
      foreach ($keys_to_save as $key) {
         if (key_exists($key, $test_meta)) {
            $vals[] = $test_meta[$key][0];
         }
      }
      if ($vals) {
         $var[] = $vals;
      }
      echo the_title();
   endforeach;
   print_r('<pre>VAR:');print_r($var);print_r('</pre>');
