Would you call Quint three-dimensional?
Well, what does that term mean to you?

I would say a three-dimensional character comes across as a genuine, fleshed out human being. A real person. Not a one-note caricature.
Well, by that standard and probably any other that is floating around, I would say he is, and very much so. If you name a random situation, I have a better feel for what Quint would do if placed there than any of the Jurassic Park scientists, more often than not.
Being a shark-obsessed madman is interesting enough, but we see plenty more, including his negotiating tactics, his disdain for common fishermen who are his inferiors, his complete disinterest in social graces if it impedes his business for one second, his gradual development of respect for Richard Dreyfuss as he sees there are other paths to at least a portion of his own knowledge, his blue collar ethic and distrust of academia, his concern for the safety of his crew provided it doesn't interfere with his ultimate goals, etc.
We will have better movies in the fall
