First, I have to say that I wasn't aware of such tool - zgrep - but I found it really useful for a specific task today. Thanks for sharing that piece of knowledge.
Now, if you want to process gzip-ed file under Solaris, you can use "gzcat FileName | grep -c Your-Pattern" as a workaround.

It worked great! Thanks sysgate

And on systems without gzcat, you can just 'gunzip < filename'.
