You can include undodir in the command:

command! -nargs=0 CleanUpUndoFiles execute '!find "' ..
fnameescape(&undodir) .. '" -type f -mtime +100d -delete'

(using fnameescape and enclosing it in double quotes probably won't be
necessary 99.9...% of the time, but just in case...)

There may be better ways to do that, I'm a vim novice, but that works
for me.
