I basically want an exact match of the line I am grepping for, the special characters and spaces are giving me errors. Or is there another method I could use?
Congratulations, you're the proud recipient of a UUOC Award. Remember, whenever you write 'cat filename | command' you can almost almost always rewrite this in a simpler way as 'command < filename'.
I'm guessing(since you didn't say) that it's complaining about bad parameters. It thinks your string is a switch since it starts with -. If you want to tell grep that the following option is a parameter and not a switch, you can add -- before it.

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.
