I have GNU grep and it doesn't work on it.
Most likely grep's "-E" option does not support lookarounds. The man page or the GNU page at: GNU Grep 2.21
do not mention anything about lookarounds.
The "-E" option for "Extended REs" provides the special meaning to metacharacters like "+", "|", "{" etc. unlike BREs.
If you have GNU grep, you could try the experimental "-P" option which provides support for Perl-compatible regular expressions:

zegrep
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.
