Are there infinitely many $n\in\mathbb N$ such that $3^n$ has all digits non-zero?

1Hendrik Lenstra says that recreational number theory is "that branch of Number Theory which is too difficult for serious study." I think you have a good example of that here. – 2012-07-06

The known powers of 3 with no zeros are tabulated here. There are 22 of them, the largest being $3^{68}$. There is a link there to a page where it is claimed that the search of numbers $3^k$ has gone out to $k=10^8$ without finding any more. So I think GEdgar has it about right in his comment.
