R 3.3.0, 3.3.1, and 3.3.2 builds don't work for most of the newer distros, like Ubuntu 18 and CentOS 8, due to a bug in the configure script (see #48):

r-builds/handler.py

Lines 128 to 139 in 0eaf4ff

# In R 3.3.0, 3.3.1, and 3.3.2, the configure script check for the
# zlib version fails to handle versions longer than 5 characters.
# Skip builds affected by this bug.
if platform in [
'ubuntu-2004',
'ubuntu-1804',
'opensuse-15',
'opensuse-152',
'centos-8',
'debian-10',
] and version in ['3.3.0', '3.3.1', '3.3.2']:
continue

It has caused some pains with documentation and the quick install script (#36). @jimhester suggests we could just backport the patch for this bug, since the fix is pretty minor anyway: https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2017-February/073752.html
