I run this script every night, to gzip yesterdays access.log into an
archive dir, and put the date in the filename.
Of course you have to make sure there is disk space available, and some
sort of cleanup after 6 months.

#!/bin/sh

/usr/local/sbin/squid -k rotate
sleep 15
gzip -c -9 /usr/local/squid/logs/access.log.0 >
/usr/local/squid/logs/archive/access.log.`date -v -1d +%F`.gz
