You might not like the biding, but ...
1: A♠ - 3♠ - 6♠ - Q♠
2: 10♠* - 5♠ - 4♥ - K♠
3: 3♣ - 8♣ - T♣ - 7♣
* - club suit preference
What now?

I don't understand what's going on. How did the ♣2 and ♣T get played on the same round?
What does partner's club mean, assuming it's not "we need to call the director"?

sorry, it was the 3, not the 2.
we are playing "revolving" discards and suit preference, so it means he wants another spade to be played, but he does not expect declarer to be out of spades also.

After declarer ruffs, he probably does expect declarer to be out of spades, no?

I'd try another ♠. Chance is that partner had ♥Q4 and can give us trump promotion. If he can't, we still have opportunities in ♦.

My opps in local clubs usually hesitate for ages then lead another spade, ensuring their partner is aware that declarer also has no more, so he won't ruff low if he has Qx left.

I am more scared of partner ruffing with singleton.

Unless declarer is a drooler, he's going to be mighty suspicious if we don't play another spade, since it may be necessary to kill the discard. Not playing a spade reduces the chances our king will score.
Play a third spade promptly, and let nature take it's course. Partner can ruff high with Qx, since we have three tricks in the bag, and in various other scenarios, we will still often make our king (as long as declarer thinks we would not preempt with AT9xxxx, a heart void and an ace). Playing the third spade wins legitimately when partner has ♦QTx, ♦Kxxx or an original ♥Qx, so it's not the right time to get fancy.
