The EEPROM command should only be necessary if you modify the z offset in the configuration.h file. It shouldn't be necessary every time you home the printer and try to print. The new z offset needs to get stored in EEPROM otherwise it won't be used the next time you start your host software which will read the old value from EEPROM.
So, after you've made modifications to the offset in Configuration.h and reflashed the Marlin firmware, go into your host program and issue a M502 command which resets all setting to what you actually have in Configuration.h. Then issue a M500 command to store the current values back to EEPROM. You don't need to do that again unless you modify the z offset in the Configuration.h (or any other parameters from Configuration.h that are stored in EEPROM).
You should also make sure that your bed or your z axis is not unstable. After you've tweaked your z offset, and you can get the G1 Z0 to be the paper sheet height, then move all your axes around for a bit (without homing), then move everything back to where it was when it homed, issue the G1 Z0 command again and check it. See if you have the same clearance. If that's all good, then maybe do Roxy's probe reliability test to see if your probe is giving you close to the same readings each time.
