Sorry for the shameless plug, but if you need a zgrep that supports 
recursion you may try the one in zutils:

That documentation bug was fixed in gzip 1.7, so I guess you are using 
an older version of gzip. I'll mark the bug as a wishlist item.

Usage: /bin/zgrep [OPTION]... [-e] PATTERN [FILE]...
Look for instances of PATTERN in the input FILEs, using their
uncompressed contents if they are compressed.

OPTIONs are the same as for 'grep'.

Report bugs to <bug-gzip@HIDDEN>.

    exit 2;;

Both the man page and the help for zgrep say it supports all options that
grep does, but it does not support recursion which would be very helpful.
