Have you pulled the #3 plug to check it out? I recently had a misfire caused by a crack in the plug's ceramic insulator, and that was with plugs that were less than 3 months old. If it looks ok, at least check/reset the gap before you reinstall it.

Also you could try moving that plug to another cylinder and see if the code follows.
