A rip 3 feet long, borders on not being worth repairing. If it is on a seam, forget it. A patch won't hold period.
If you are bound and determined to try to patch it, do it now. It'll be bigger in the spring and the vinyl will have shrunk somewhat as well as gone a little brittle. Waiting makes it worse.
By the sounds of it, unless someone gashed it, this liner is on it's last legs as well. A liner in good shape, won't run a 3 foot rip. A old liner or one that has been exposed to low total alkalinity will.

Is the pool emptied for the winter?? If not, do not worry about it now, unless it is draining rapidly.
Otherwise, wait until spring to drain it and patch it. If it is drained for the winter, I would patch it immediately so that no additional damage is done by weathering.
