The lzma SDK is public domain (lzma is the compression algorithm used in 7z), xzutils has a library called liblzma which is based on the lzma sdk, easier to use and also public domain. Tar should be easy enough to implement in d. Seems like there are more or less recent D bindings for liblzma: http://www.digitalmars.com/webnews/newsgroups.php?art_group=digitalmars.D&article_id=117344 But someone still has to combine those parts together. LZMA bindings would also fit nicely into phobos, as we already have zlib in there.
When someone actually does this I can use lzma/7z instead of/in addition to zip. But I have no interest myself in creating bindings or building a D module.
