I am sure you have considered the following, but thought I would comment.
Are you sure the slave is actually failing? If the installation of the new slave seems to fix the problem for just a short period, only to have the pedal hit the floor a short time later, it may be that you are addressing the wrong end of the problem. As another poster has mentioend, it could be the master is malfunctioning, but my two cents worth is that you have a slow leak in the line that over time allows air into the system. When you replace the slave, and bleed the system, you are purging the air. Then it slowly leaks back through either a bad master or a faulty line.
Can you rebleed the system with your 'blown' slave, once the pedal starts sinking to the floor? If so, then the problem is not the slave.
