I have something similar here (except that I edit the parameter
programmatically):
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq gnus-parameters
'(("^old.*"
(total-expire . t)
(expiry-wait . 1)
(expiry-target . "nnimap+zimbra:archive"))
...))
#+end_src

You can look in the *Messages* buffer, there should be logs about
expiring. If there isn't, try increasing gnus's verbosity (setting
`gnus-verbose' to 10 for very very verbose, for instance).
