Change this to

 j0[n_] := FindRoot[BesselJ[0, x] == 0, {x, n*2.5}]

so that the result is a replacement rule instead of a value.

By a change of variables r -> R r, this integral becomes

  R Integrate[BesselJ[0,s0 r] BesselJ[0,s2 r] BesselJ[0,s3 r],{r,0,1}]

Substitute the first three zeros into the integrand:

 Times @@ (BesselJ[0, x r] /. Array[j0, 3])

Compute the integral numerically:

 R NIntegrate[%, {r, 0, 1}]

Cheers,
Paul
