My husband's visa was just issued, but his physical was three months ago. He has to enter the US within the next three months to activate his greencard. Can he enter the country even if I (USC) remain behind in the UK? We aren't ready to move within the next three months but don't want to lose the visa or waste money on flights.

No, you need to come to the US first. The purpose of a CR1 is family reunification. If you haven't established domicile in the US, they can be reject him at entry. Why would you start the process to get the visa if you aren't ready or able to wrap up ties abroad within the given timeline?
