If
it's not supported I'll need to look at something other than squid

It is supported. Ensure that you have server_persistent_connections ON
(default setting) in squid.conf.
The word for today is "upgrade" anyway.
There are some behaviour and traffic conditions required to make
persistent connections actually work. It appears that one of these
conditions is not met in your system. Probably the server is emitting
unknown-length headers or explicitly requesting connection closure.
The amount of persistence you can get is up to the particular software
HTTP/1.1 compliance in both Squid and the backend server. So upgrading
Squid to the latest stable release you can will mean a better chance of
persistence happening.
