Wouldn't TCAS have alerted this potential collision and allowed 3.3NM (TA region) or 2.1NM (RA region)?

Have you linked to the right report?

I'm looking at an accident (classed as such because of a serious, g-related injury to a passenger) involving a Ryanair B738.

While there was another aircraft in the area at the time, the report does not state any loss of separation.

1000 feet of vertical separation does not constitute a "near miss". If it did, there would be thousands of such incidents reported daily.
