Zutils

http://www.nongnu.org/zutils/zutils.html
a collection of utilities for dealing with zipped and unzipped files transparently.

Zutils is a collection of utilities able to deal with any combination of compressed and non-compressed files transparently. If any given file, including standard input, is compressed, its decompressed content is used. Compressed files are decompressed on the fly; no temporary files are created. These utilities are not wrapper scripts but safer and more efficient C++ programs. In particular the "--recursive" option is very efficient in those utilities supporting it.

The provided utilities are:

Zcat 

Decompresses and copies files to standard output.

Zcmp 

Decompresses and compares two files byte by byte.

Zdiff 

Decompresses and compares two files line by line.

Zgrep 

Decompresses and searches files for a regular expression.

Ztest 

Tests integrity of compressed files.
