A control/zone valve is probably not allowing the hot water to flow through the down stairs radiators.

A control for the system is probably defective.
OR
A zone valve is defective.
Since I do not know what controls the flow of hot water to your down stairs radiators I took a guess at what you have.
If the 3 way valve is controlling the flow then I would look to see why it is not allowing the flow to the area having the problem.
