We don't use "having" when the sense is of ordinary possession. For example, we don't say "I'm having two cars", we say "I have two cars". We may use "having" in certain other senses of "have".
- We don't use "having" when the sense is of ordinary possession.

- We may use "having" in certain other senses of "have".
- "having goosebumps" is a somewhat borderline case.
- I would say it's just about possible when talking about an experience happening at the present time, but this does not fit with the general-time "when" of your sentence, so from the choices you offer, (3) is the correct choice.
