No need to hack squid for that one. Assuming that you have set
"logfile_rotate 0" in squid.conf, this little script should do the
trick:

#! /bin/sh
LOGDIR=/var/squid/logs
LOGFILES="access.log cache.log"
datestr=`date '+%Y%m%d'`

for f in $LOGFILES
do
    mv $LOGDIR/$f $LOGDIR/$f-$datestr
done
squid -k rotate
for f in $LOGFILES
do
    gzip $LOGDIR/$f-$datestr
done
