Gunzip,grep and zip across folders in a subdirectory
I have a simple function that greps within a folder into files that are already gunzipped. This was already written for me so from my understanding fn=$1 specifies that it will look into any file in that folder that is gunzipped and the rest of the script greps the data its looking for and puts it into a new file with '_woodsmoke'.
The problem is now I need to write something that greps across three different folders within a directory (part1_3b, part2_eb, part3_scsdmd). These 3 folders represent data in CA divided by 3 sections. The files in these folders ...although containing different data..have the same name which is why they aren't combined into 1 folder.
For every month of the year and 3 days of the week I have files written as such:
I need it to look across all 3 folders, gunzip & grep data for matching months and days of the week to produce one file per month per day of the week (36 files total) into preferentially a new sub-directory with medsarea.201001sat.v008a.asc_woodsmoke as an example of a Saturday in the first month...but I also need to make sure the original files get zipped back up at the end.
Any tips/pointers/ideas on how to go about this? I am new to shell scripting.
Thanks!

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.
