According to this FAA paper, Table 3, ASRS reports were analyzed for 16 months between 1978 and 1979. This included 553 incidents where the recipient was not monitoring, which seems to be the closest category to loss of communications. This equates to a little more than 1 incident a day. Note that this only includes incidents that were reported, and air traffic has increased since then.
