Your triac has a guaranteed senstivity of 50mA for quadrants I/II/III, but you are only giving it maybe 15mA peak.  That might be enough to trigger it in quadrant I, but not III.  So I'd suggest changing R3 to 220R or so.
A 3.5 digit 4.5 digit 5 digit 5.5 digit 6.5 digit 7.5 digit DMM is good enough for most people.
