zmore is just a sh script.  The following line are extracted from 
the file /usr/bin/zmore

[line no]
  (27)  gzip -cdfq | eval ${PAGER-more}	         # for redirected input i guess
  (45)  gzip -cdfq "$FILE" | eval ${PAGER-more}  # for files

So I guess it does the same job as 
  $ gzip -cd filename.gz | more
just a little bit more convenient of course :-)

Best regards,
Paal
