All three are wrong. The saying is not about dying, but about changing.
The saying is "This too shall pass".
"Shall", not "will", and "pass", not "pass away".
No, it's not shall. If you're describing something that will happen, you use will. If you're describing something that must happen, you use shall. For example, it will rain tomorrow. Students shall be in their seats by 8.
Except none of the first 3 options are correct. Adding away at the end makes the phrase grammatically incorrect to begin with.
"This, too, will pass" or "This, too, shall pass" depending on the context is correct, adding away at the end makes it incorrect no matter where you stick a comma.
Since you can take out the word "too" and the sentence still makes sense, add the commas, "This will pass."

Thank you. I was trying to figure out why everyone else thought those were correct choices.
I vote for number 1, but I've noticed that the commas subtly change the meaning each time.
Here's one just for fun--place the punctuation:
"A woman without her man is nothing." Sometimes the difference isn't so subtle.
