I think I'd rewrite it as:
find . \
-name '*.odt' \
-exec sh -c 'unzip -c "$1" content.xml | grep -q regex' \{} \; \
-print
I'm not sure what the rules are for find substituting "{}" within another
argument, so it seems best to write it as a separate argument. If you have
anything that matches *.odt in the current directory, the find won't work[1]
unless you quote it. You might also need to throw double-quotes around the
regex, depending on its contents.

[1] It may work, but it won't actually be searching for files with names
matching the glob *.odt.
