I think you should also try different programs on both ends. It could be
an inplementation problem, not an archive format problem (or not only).

And rar made with 7-zip in windows? If that is also incorrect, then the
7-zip client is the culprit.

A rar made with gnome roller. Try another tool; but I don't know which,
rar is propietary. I wasn't even aware that we could make rars in linux
(version 2 rar, I mean).

Posibly propietary.

A zisofs compressed iso? But it wouldn't "open" on a windows machine, I
think. An iso later compressed as zip, that would work (or rzip).
Look at Productivity/Archiving/Compression, there are several programs
there. You are at a better position to try than many of us are: I can't
even test your problem, for instance.
I think you have found a problem that should be addressed somehow...
