You don't need bzgrep or what ever....just bzcat /ab/def/sd/blah.bz2 | grep
yay

Or if you want to use the cases above, a "| grep yay" should be more than
enough...plus you get the colors in the results.

It does get a little annoying when you want to use grep for all files in the
directory, but nothing a little for loop cannot fix:

for i in /path/to/dir/*; do echo $i; bzcat $i | grep yay; done
