[zgrep is part of the gzip package, not of grep proper,
so I'm replying to bug-gzip as well.]
Thanks for that bug report. The zgrep usage message is
wrong. I installed the following patch to the grep package
to try to fix this.
It would be better to add support for these options to zgrep;
if someone wants to contribute a fix along those lines,
that'd be nice.

Look for instances of PATTERN in the input FILEs, using their
uncompressed contents if they are compressed.
-OPTIONs are the same as for 'grep'.
+OPTIONs are the same as for 'grep', except that the following 'grep'
