When did theatres close?
In the time of Shakespeare, the outdoor theatres closed after the afternoon show, about 6 p.m. They also closed for the winter, during inclement weather, and due to outbreaks of infectious disease. The indoor theatres could stay open in the winter and bad weather because they did not depend on sunlight. They still had to close on orders of the health department though. After Shakespeare's time, in 1642, all the theatres in England were closed on the orders of Parliament and did not reopen until about 1660.
Who closed William Shakespeare's theaters?
Shakespeare was part owner of two theatres: The Globe and The Blackfriars. They were closed by the government during times of plague.

But of course by that time Shakespeare had been dead for 26 years and he had no interest in any theatres.

Shakespeare did not "have" any theatres. He was not the sole owner of any theatres.

When was Shakespeare's theater closed?
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.
Which theater is considered Shakespeare's?
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.
What did William shakespeare change the theatre name later to and why?
None of the theatres Shakespeare was involved in changed their names.
