All theatres in London were closed during the years 1592-1593 because of a particularly nasty plague outbreak. During that time, actors had to play in venues outside of London, which were much less profitable. There was a smaller plague outbreak and theatre closure in London in 1596.

What happen to theatre companies during shakespeares time?
In 1593-1594 there was a really bad outbreak of plague in London. All of the theatres were closed, so the theatre companies had to go on tour of the country towns to try to make a living. However, they could not sell anywhere near as many tickets in the country as they could in the city, and a lot of them went broke and disbanded. The actors from these various disbanded companies reformed under new patrons. One of these was the Lord Chamberlain's Men, of which Shakespeare was a founding member.
What was the only major disaster during Shakespeare's time that closed the theatres?
The theatres were closed at various times for health reasons, namely to curtail the spread of plague. But it would be inaccurate to describe the disease plague as a "major disaster". It was a serious ongoing health problem which became more serious when outbreaks of the disease broke out. Many people died from it. However, it was not a "major disaster" any more than cancer is nowadays. A disease is not an event when outbreaks of it happen all the time.

How many theatres did shakespeare have?
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.
