I would try to run a hello world asp.net mvc application on the 3 machines to make sure mvc is working first. I also like to set my app pools to integrated mode and not classic. There must be configuration difference between the machine where it worked and the other 2 machines. Look into app pool settings values and into the machine web.config and do diff merge and you should notice the issue.
