Hm - can't think of an easy way for tar files, but check if your copy of Solaris has gzgrep for gzip files. (zip files in the unix world aren't normaly that common - are these really zip and not gzip?)

Otherwise create a empty temp directory and write a script to untar/unzip, then do a find + grep.

Edit: File name search is easy for tar files - tar -t + grep.
