Single grep to multiple strings with separate output per string

I need to grep multiple strings from a particular file.

I found the use of egrep "String1|String2|String3" file.txt | wc-l

Now what I'm really after is that I need to separate word count per each string found. I am trying to keep it to use the grep only 1 time.

Can you guys help ?

To explain myself better is that I'm after something similar:

Code:
String1 2 
String2 1
String3 4.....

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
