What is the goal, the reason you are doing this, not how you chose to do it.
It looks like you are still stuck on square zero. So let's go back and detemine your requirements. I'm sure you do not want just to play with grep or ls. You want to do something with the files, or report something in the files.

zfgrep
ZGREP(1) BSD General Commands Manual ZGREP(1)
NAME
zgrep, zegrep, zfgrep -- print lines matching a pattern in gzip-compressed files
SYNOPSIS
zgrep [grep-flags] [--] pattern [files ...]
zegrep [grep-flags] [--] pattern [file ...]
zfgrep [grep-flags] [--] pattern [file ...]
DESCRIPTION
zgrep runs grep(1) on files or stdin, if no files argument is given, after decompressing them with zcat(1).
The grep-flags and pattern arguments are passed on to grep(1). If an -e flag is found in the grep-flags, zgrep will not look for a pattern
argument.
zegrep calls egrep(1), while zfgrep calls fgrep(1).
EXIT STATUS
In case of missing arguments or missing pattern, 1 will be returned, otherwise 0.
SEE ALSO
egrep(1), fgrep(1), grep(1), gzip(1), zcat(1)
