Never.

When ending a sentence with an abbreviation, a single period will suffice. It does double duty in finishing the abbreviation and the sentence.

You may, however, see three periods at the end of a sentence. This is an ellipses.

Or, two periods may occur in a sentence that includes a quote. Example:

When I heard him say, "I found your luggage.", I cried tears of joy.
