How’s this:

find . -name “*.jar” | xargs -i unzip -l {} | grep -E “^Archive:|$1″ | less

Example:

> findclass Enclosed
Archive: ./aspectj-1.5.3.jar
Archive: ./aspectjweaver.jar
Archive: ./junit.jar
651 27-03-07 14:22 org/junit/runners/Enclosed.class

Fewer things to navigate, easier to find the archives containing the matching classes.
