According to the GnuPG documentation (2.4.0)
https://gnupg.org/documentation/manuals/gnupg/GPG-Configuration-Options.html#index-compress_002dlevel

'-z 0' is equivalent to the following long options
'--compress-level 0 --bzip2-compress-level 0'
yes, both have to be given.

Would not be enough to disable bip2 encryption (according to the 
documentation).

Looking at
https://gnupg.org/documentation/manuals/gnupg/GPG-Esoteric-Options.html#index-compress_002dalgo
what shall work with just one option is
  `compress-algo uncompressed`

Best,
Bernhard
