Why would you do that?
C-c C-e eqn TAB RET
inserts both opening and closing lines with proper indentation.

eqnarray sucks, anyway (it does not even manage to keep the equation

provided by amsmath.sty (documentation in amsldoc.dvi or equivalent).
And those don't even _work_ with those kinds of abbreviations.
