Just to add some additional detail, this behavior is not limited to .tar.zst
but all other forms of compression as well.

The exact behavior varies by compression type:
.zip will fail to produce a file at all, no errors
.7z will produce a file that Ark deems unreadable or empty.
.tar.gz or any other tar compression option will produce a blank file of the
original size and name as described in this bug report. 

and all of them show a notification claiming the operation to have been
successful (similar to bug 505628).

What happens with .tar.gz is treacherous since it's so often used and presented
as the foremost option in Dolphin's right-click menu. With the misleading size
this could easily lead to data loss as it almost did for myself.

Tested with:
Arch Linux with 6.18.9 kernel
KDE Plasma 6.5.5
KDE Frameworks 6.22.0
QT 6.10.2

Used a small text file with chmod 400 and root as the owner in the desktop
user's home for testing.
