Some thoughts:
*.*.abc as used for grep seems to be a "glob" but should be a regex same as the one used in the sed script (where, BTW, the . is a wildcard char and should be escaped for the extension separator).
Simply using sed on ALL files (leaving them intact if no pattern found) might be more efficient than grepping through all of them, and then using multiple sed invocations again on those with the pattern - depends on the average file length, and the ratio of files with vs. without pattern.
With awk, you could use one single invocation working on an input stream of all files writing to respective individual temporary output 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)
