I find this question interesting- it seems to me that this sort of stock would lack the fast-decaying proteins that make seafoods go bad so rapidly (note- this is an assumption; they may go bad for some reason I'm not seeing); it might store fairly well. Personally, I've always made it for immediate use, but I used to freeze the shells sometimes- they were good for several weeks.
I'd say 3 days no problem. 4-5 days maaybe, esp if you bring it to a rolling boil before incorporating the stock into whatever you're making. Or freeze the stock in an ice cube tray and avail yourself of concern :)
