[James P. Kinney III]

How about just a single find that digs down beginning with
/var/www/zm/events and then does the rm -f as you have already.

find /var/www/zm/events ! "*.log" -mtime 5 -print | rm -f $1

Or you can iterate over the directories using a for loop
for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15; do ...
