Yes. There are many parallels here with Christian belief.

The Zoroastrians believed that the soul rises from the dead body and for three nights after death resides in the material world and then proceeds to the other world. This may be termed individual resurrection.

Zoroaster believed that the end of the world was imminent, and he seems to have taught that after him there would come 'the man better than a good man' (cf John the Baptist), the Saoshyant, who will lead humanity in the last battle against evil. Zoroastrianism also predicates a collective resurrection (Rastakhiz) when all the dead will rise. This will be the day of judgement, when the Saoshyant returns.
