take a look at the following examples

http://threejs.org/examples/#misc_controls_orbit

http://threejs.org/examples/#misc_controls_trackball

there are other examples for different mouse controls, but both of these allow the camera to rotate around a point and zoom in and out with the mouse wheel, the main difference is OrbitControls enforces the camera up direction, and TrackballControls allows the camera to rotate upside-down.

All you have to do is include the controls in your html document

and include this line in your source

controls = new THREE.OrbitControls( camera, renderer.domElement );
