Zdun appeared via video link for a brief hearing at Basingstoke Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday.
The charges allege that he murdered his wife and daughter on June 1.
Zdun, who was assisted by a Polish interpreter, did not enter any pleas to the charges.
No application for bail was made.
District Judge Tim Pattinson told the defendant: “The two charges will be sent to Winchester Crown Court.
“The next date is June 5 at 10am. In the meantime, you will be remanded in custody.”
Kate Prince appeared for the prosecution during the hearing, while Matthew George represented Zdun.
Wiltshire Police previously said it had received a call from a member of the public at 2.45pm on Monday following concerns for the occupants of a house on Wessex Road.
Officers attended the scene and discovered the body of one woman.
Another woman was found seriously injured and was pronounced dead by paramedics a short time later.
Zdun will next appear before Winchester Crown Court on Friday.
