Three finger double tap not working

Since updating to iOS 5 on my iPhone 3GS, the Zoom feature has stopped working. (Actually, when I double tap with three fingers, the screen enlarges a few pixels.) Any ideas on how to get this feature back? So far, I've turned it on and off, rebooted the iPhone.

Double tap with three fingers and KEEP your fingers on the screen after the second tap and then drag up or down.

Try checking Settings>General>Accessibility>Zoom>ON. That should enable the three finger double tap.
