I want the 3d camera to be able to zoom in and out. but it's always stuck at the same distance. I have tried changing the fov and the canvas size. but neither produce the effect.

The whole point of an orthographic view is the distance from the camera doesn't affect the size. You could try scaling the layer/layout instead.

That does not fix my issue it seems. Also the orthographic view does not fit the preview window despite being on letterbox scale. I get the point is that distance does not affect the size and that is the desired result. so that objects maybe behind a wall on the corner won't be obscured by it's relative perspective. But not being able to choose the orthographic scale limits it's usefulness.

Blender has a orthographic scale option in it's camera settings. could something like that be added to the 3d camera object?
