For an ideal $I$ of a commutative ring $R$, we classify the set of all $3$-zero divisor elements of $R$ with respect to $I$. We prove that if $\bigcap_{i=1}^n P_i$ is a minimal prime decomposition of $\sqrt{I}$, then all elements of \begin{center} $\displaystyle{\bigcup_{i=1}^n P_i-\Big( \bigcup_{j=1}^n \Big\{x\in\bigcap_{i\in \{1,2,\ldots,n\}-\{j\}} P_i\backslash P_j: P_j\subseteq I:_Rx \Big\} \cup \sqrt{I}\Big)}$ \end{center} are $3$-zero divisor elements of $R$ with respect to $I$. Moreover, we determine $3$-zero divisors elements of $R$ with respect to $I$, when either $\sqrt{I}=I$ or $I$ is a primary ideal. Afterwards, we introduce quasi $3$-zero divisor element of $R$ with respect to $I$ and by using the minimal prime ideals of $R$ containing $I$ we characterize these elements. Moreover, we define quasi 3-zero divisor hypergraph of $R$ with respect to $I$ and we determine some properties of this hypergraph with the algebraic properties of $R$.
