The E-3 visa centers its requirements on professional qualifications and a job offer in a specialty occupation. Proof of health insurance is not typically part of that set of requirements.
That does not mean the topic is irrelevant to you. Because access to medical services in the United States can be costly, having health insurance is a prudent personal choice that protects you and your family, even when it is not a visa requirement.
It is worth keeping in mind that immigration requirements can be revised over time. For that reason, the safest approach is to confirm what is currently in effect directly from the source, rather than assuming the document checklist is fixed.
For up-to-date guidance, follow the information provided by the Department of State and USCIS and, if needed, consult a specialist before filing your application.
