Motivated by recent experiments on the spin-3/2 frustrated bilayer honeycomb antiferromagnet Bi$_3$Mn$_4$O$_{12}$(NO$_3$), we study the spin-S Heisenberg model on the honeycomb lattice with various additional exchange interactions which frustrate N\'eel order. Using spin wave theory, exact diagonalization, and bond operator theory, we consider the effects of (i) second-neighbor exchange, (ii) biquadratic exchange for $S = 3/2$ which leads to an AKLT valence bond solid, and (iii) bilayer coupling which leads to an interlayer dimer solid. We show that the resulting paramagnetic states undergo a transition to N\'eel order beyond a critical magnetic field. We discuss experimental implications for Bi$_3$Mn$_4$O$_{12}$(NO$_3$).
