Would this work with a 3L water bladder if I ran it 3 times while the bladder was full?

This is really not designed that way. It doesn't work because there is no way to isolate the sterilized water from the nonsterilized. The UV works based not only on exposure time, but also the distance it must travel through the water. If you were to carry a 1 L bottle with you, emptying it after each treatment into the bladder, then you'd be good to go. Thats what I've done, and it does work, even if it is slightly more time consuming. Hope this helps!
