There haven't yet been any extensions to zip or 7z for zstd support. There is a branch of wimlib that has experimental zstd support, though it's unlikely it will ever be merged into the master branch.
You could make uncompressed zip or 7z files and compress that independently as a zst file, but that's a bit baroque compared to just using tar. :)
7-Zip does often seem bent on supporting everything, I imagine some day in the future it'll support zstd at least as an independent archive, if not extending the Zip and 7z formats as well.
- mappu 8y agoGP mentioned this fork of 7-Zip with zstd support: - https://github.com/mcmilk/7-Zip-zstd https://github.com/mcmilk/7-Zip-zstd The changes to the 7-Zip file format were discussed upstream, and upstream agreed to not tread on the magic values: - https://sourceforge.net/p/sevenzip/discussion/45797/thread/a7e4f3f3/?limit=25&page=2 https://sourceforge.net/p/sevenzip/discussion/45797/thread/a... But ultimately the patches were not upstreamed. It's now onto its second developer: - https://sourceforge.net/p/sevenzip/discussion/45797/thread/6db98beb/?limit=25&page=0 https://sourceforge.net/p/sevenzip/discussion/45797/thread/6...
