Quick help on grep -w please

Hello Experts,

Here is my problem..

Code:
cat abc.txt

1,"nathan available"
2,"MW nathan available"
3,"HW nathan available"

How can i grep for "nathan available" alone.

I tried
Code:
grep -w "nathan available"

Problem is that the pattern is enclosed in Quotes " ".

I know we can do
Code:
grep "nathan available" file | grep -v MW | grep -v HW

Any better way... Please help me...

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. AUTHOR
