First you want to do a compression test on #3 to confirm that it IS fit to fire off.
Testing a plug removed from a cylinder and seeing it throw a spark is very very different then throwing a spark in the dense atmosphere of TDC, so you may just have a bad plug.
Also you can kill power to the dizzy and crank the motor for ten seconds and you should see signs of the plug getting wet, no fuel will = no fire.
It would not be the first time that a forgotten shop rag was found in the intake tract of a motor.
