The 12-time Grand Slam winner was in deep trouble in the third set as he lost his serve at 3-4, but then battled back to take it via the tie-breaker before easing home in the fourth.
He will face another Spaniard in Fernando Verdasco in the last 16.
Seventh seed Thiem also overcame a second-set setback to beat Matteo Berrettini 6-3, 6-7 (5-7), 6-3, 6-2 and set up a clash against Kei Niskhori, who defeated Gilles Simon 6-3, 6-1, 6-3.
Italian Marco Cecchinato is also through to round four after securing an upset victory over the 10th ranked Spaniard Pablo Carreno Busta as he won 2-6, 7-6 (7-5), 6-3, 6-1.
Meanwhile, eighth seed David Goffin was involved in a tough tussle with Gael Monfils before play was suspended for the day.
The Frenchman won the opening set before Goffin levelled it at one-set each and play was called off with the scores 6-7 (6-8), 6-3, 3-2.
The 15th seed Lucas Pouille is also facing an uphill battle as he was down 3-6, 5-7, 1-1 to Karen Khachanov when the rain set in.
