2 Nov 2012: Montalto et al (2012) exclude any perturber of the planet WASP-3 b orbit with a mass > 100 MEarth and any pariod up to 10 times the period of the inner planet b. 
8 Jun. 2010: The planet WASP-3c is inferred from the Transit Time Variations (TTVs) for planet WASP-3b (Maciejewski et al. 2010)
Other orbital solutions, less significant, are also found with orbital periods 3.03-3.05 days and 3.58-3.54 days respectively.
It needs to be confirmed by Radial Velocity measurements.
