C-c a m
+work+SCHEDULED<"<today>"+SCHEDULED>"<-3d>"
RET

seems to work here.
I haven't done this in ages, so I looked the great 
tutorial "advanced-searching.org" @worg.

You escaped the `"' which is not necessary when you are 
searching interactively AFAICS. 
Does it work with my recipe above, i.e. interactively?
