Shakespeare was part owner of two theatres, the Globe and the Blackfriars. He performed in many other theatres of course.

Shakespeare owned a small share in two theatres, the Globe and the Blackfriars. He performed in both and also in a number of other theatres including The Theatre, The Curtain, The Rose, and Newington Butts.
Half of the Globe and Blackfriars theatres was owned by the brothers Richard and Cuthbert Burbage. The rest was owned by smaller shareholders including Shakespeare.
Shakespeare did not "have" any theatres. He was not the sole owner of any theatres. He did own a share in a couple, but just because you own a share in Apple Computers does not mean you own the company. Of course he acted in a great many theatres, most of which he did not have any interest in at all.
In 1593, a plague outbreak in London caused the theatres to close. Shakespeare had chosen not to leave London, but rather had chosen to stay and put the finishing touches to his first published work, Venus and Adonis.
There is no one theatre which can be identified as "Shakespeare's theatre". Shakespeare performed in a number of different theatres, although most particularly in the two he owned a share in. In any case, the main reasons for theatre closures applied to all the theatres whether they had something to do with Shakespeare or not. There were two of these: all London theatres were periodically closed for a relatively short time for health reasons, and all London theatres were permanently closed in 1642 by law.
Shakespeare actually owned a share in two theatres: the Globe and the Blackfriars. Nowadays, Shakespeare is the most famous of the many people who owned or worked in those theatres, so people get the idea that he owned them all by himself or that the people who attended them would have thought of them as Shakespeare's. In fact, Shakespeare's contemporaries would have associated both theatres with Richard Burbage, who was the most important actor in the company, much better known to the public than Shakespeare was, and owned a much larger share of the theatres, being the driving force and main financial push behind them.
None of the theatres Shakespeare was involved in changed their names.

At Theatres. Shakespeare's plays were performed at The Globe, The Theatre, The Curtain and probably The Rose.
1. There is not and never has been a theatre called the Elizabeth Theatre. (There are Queen Elizabeth Theatres in Toronto and Vancouver, but no Elizabeth Theatre), so obviously nobody built a theatre by that name. 2. William Shakespeare did not build theatres. He was not a builder. He was not a contractor. Nor did he hire them. Shakespeare invested in theatres, he did not build them.
