The #3 cylinder on my '98 Cavalier is not getting a spark. I used an
inline tester to confirm this. Does this prove that I need to replace
the Ignition Control Module or could there be another less expensive
solution?

Thanks,

Properly the spark plug wire or distributor cap.

Not getting a spark or just no firing?

A bad plug can misfire, a bad injector can misfire, a bad wire can cause
one, a bad distributor cap can cause one.

Ignition module normally controls 'all' the plugs....
