Try printing the output of the ps command at the beginning of your script:
You'll see the current instance of your script.
Than try to invoke the script like this and compare the output:
To elaborate further: you cannot only check the presence of your script in the process list for obvious reasons: your script
is running when you're running the ps .. | grep .. pipeline, so this thest will always return true.
If you count with ps .. | grep -c .. the output will depend on the shell implementation
(some shells thread differently the last command in a pipeline).
So, again, for a more robust solution, I'd suggest the implementation of some
locking mechanism.

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.
