Could you have accidently changed those groups' level, i.e. unsubscribed
from them? With the cursor on one group, if you run
gnus-group-set-current-level (S l) and type 3 (or the level you want)
for the level does a group come back to life for you?

Levels and subscribing to groups is described in section 2.6, Group
Levels, in the manual.
