I think the invert, "-v", option is easiest to use. The "^", normally used as a beginning-of-line-anchor, takes on a special meaning when used in the character class notation, "[string_of_characters]", to mean "not these characters": "[^not_these]".
So you could use either method, the "-v", or the "[^]", but if you use a character class, you would need to set up the regular expression so that it would match every character on a line:

zgrep
ZGREP(1) General Commands Manual ZGREP(1)NAME
zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression
SYNOPSIS
zgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...
DESCRIPTION
Zgrep invokes grep on compressed or gzipped files. These grep options will cause zgrep to terminate with an error code:
(-[drRzZ]|--di*|--exc*|--inc*|--rec*|--nu*). All other options specified are passed directly to grep. If no file is specified, then the
standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep. Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to grep.
If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked.
EXIT CODE
2 - An option that is not supported was specified.
