Unfortunately, the grep -w option is not included in the standards, so it might or might not work on your system. (This is one of the reasons why you should always tell us what operating system you're using when you start a thread here.)
If grep on your system supports the -w option, it is a great choice for what you are trying to do. Otherwise, please tell us what operating system you are using and show us some representative sample data so we can make alternative suggestions to help you.

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 is used to invoke the grep on compress'ed or gzip'ed files. All options specified are passed directly to grep. If no file is speci-
fied, 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 zgrep is invoked as zegrep or zfgrep then egrep or fgrep is used instead of grep. If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses
it as the grep program to be invoked. For example:
for sh: GREP=fgrep zgrep string files
for csh: (setenv GREP fgrep; zgrep string files)
