Can you please post the output of 'apt-cache policy' and the content of your sources file(s)?

On https://packages.debian.org/jessie/amd64/libpcre3/download one can download the Debian package which than can be installed manually with
dpkg --install libpcre3_8.35-3.3_amd64.deb
After that an apt-get install grep works.

While this seems like a working workaround it should have been installed automatically. There is something wrong with your system.
