Do not worry.  I believe your shamrock just needs a rest.  It's pretty amazing that its held out this long!  They grow from small bulbs and need rest to regenerate.  I've attached an informational bulletin that explains the process to put it into dormancy and then bring it back to life.   As a bonus, it details the best growing environment, how to water, and more.
