I'm guessing:

restore_command='copy "D:\\wallog\\%f.gz" "%p"'

will get you the file.

The next problem is that I'm pretty sure a WAL file with *.gz extension 
will not be able to be processed directly by the server. So you are 
going to have to uncompress it at some point before it gets restored.
