Membrillo lasts for ages and ages in the fridge. It contains lots of sugar, so you can think of it like a jam. (And you'll know if it has gone bad - you'd see mold or scary-looking scum.) I've kept left-over quince paste in my fridge for at least 6 months and probably longer, like a year.

Why is my quince paste not turning red?

They're not red, they're colourless. That is a quirk of nature to protect the fruit from hungry animals. There are lots of anthocyanins in quinces, they are just all bound up together in big molecules called tannins. Once you heat up the colourless tannins, the coloured anthocyanin pigments are released.
