The whole "-z" flag to grep is a GNU extension, as far as I know. I don't 
think it's portable. 

Even for GNU grep, it's not mentioned in the man-page. Whether that is 
just due to the normal inane FSF rules ("man-pages are evil, you should 
use those idiotic info pages") or whether it is a conscious effort to not 
document nonstandard features, I don't know.
