Yes, we can.Smilie
If your find statements are exactly the same otherwise, you can combine them to one
Code:
find ${d}/backup ${d}/tmp -type f -mtime +3 '(' -name '*.zip' -o -name '*.CSV' -o -name '*.txt' ')' -exec echo rm -f {} \;

I changed the order, so the more "expensive" name comparison is after the simple file type and age checks. -a (AND) is only for readablity - can be omitted.
Last but not least, this should be secured:
Code:
cd $ORDATA || exit #fatal - directory must exist!
