Can you pipe it to a file within that /var/log directory as a .txt file? I as because I would like to be able to SCP it off F5 to my box. Will the .txt file that was created from the zcat pipe be viewable in notepad then?

    Yes to your question. You can also export the .gz file and open it in your client machine.
