Going by the package name, "squid3" probably means the binary is also
named "squid3" instead of "squid".
  That means your squid may not be receiving the rotate signal. Run it
without that "2>/dev/null ||true" and see if any errors are happening.

Part of the problem is this:
    loop only considers file with extension .log
      file is only dated if it has extension .1 !!!

What does this do? erase the file just now created and zipped?

As a side note;
   The new logdaemon could fairly easily gain the ability to write those
dated files directly based on the individual log timestamp.
  If you or anyone else using this type of script wants to delve into
the helper code and make it so I'm happy to mentor the effort. Just
don't have time to do it myself yet.
