\copy (select * from output3) to '/usr/share/output.csv' with CSV ENCODING 'UTF-8' DELIMITER ',' HEADER;
I am getting following ERROR
ERROR: relation "tab3" does not exist

Answer 1

All psql backslash commands need to be written on a single line, so you can't have a multi-line query together with \copy. The only workaround is to create a (temporary) view with that query, then use that in the \copy command.
Something along the lines:
create temporary view data_to_export
as
with cte as (..)
select *
from cte
;
\copy (select * data_to_export) to ...

You are getting this error because you are running your CTE query and copy command in different statements. Considering your with query is working fine, you should write your copy statement like below:
\copy (WITH tab1 as (Your SQL statement),
tab2 as ( SELECT ... FROM tab1 WHERE your filter),
tab3 as ( SELECT ... FROM tab2 WHERE your filter)
SELECT * FROM tab3) to '/usr/share/results.csv' with CSV ENCODING 'UTF-8' DELIMITER ',' HEADER;
