If I correctly understood you question you can try following request

[your search]...
|stats latest(UPDATETIME) as UPDATETIME by host_ip
| eval converted_UPDATETIME=strptime(substr(UPDATETIME,1,10),"%Y.%m.%d")
| eval start_of_previous_day=relative_time(now(),"-1d@d")
| eval time_difference=start_of_previous_day-converted_UPDATETIME
| search time_difference>=259200
| table host_ip

and save search as alert with condition when number of results is more than 0

you should specify timeranges earliest=-[number_of_days_ago] latest=-1d@d
