I have enabled the shell options for multi-line command history like this

shopt -s lithist
shopt -s cmdhist

and it works well in current terminal

bash$ history
 8651  echo history test 1
 8652  echo history test 2
 8653  echo history test 3
 8654  cat << EOF
111
222                              # multi-line command history works well
333
EOF

 8655  history

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

if i opened new terminal then the multi-line commands all changed to
single lines like this

bash$ history
 7819  echo history test 1
 7820  echo history test 2
 7821  echo history test 3
 7822  cat << EOF
 7823  111                                      # the multi-line
commands changed to single lines
 7824  222
 7825  333
 7826  EOF
 7827  history
