Using Lubuntu (where pcmanfm-qt is the default file manager) 20.04, I
had no problems with either method.

Lubuntu uses the "ark" archiver integration (see advanced preferences)
and none of the other ones work by default because none of the other
archivers are installed by default. If you are using one of the other
archiver methods but don't have the right archiver installed, that could
be the problem.

It could also be a problem with some other archiver, but we would need
to know which archiver you're using.

It could finally be a problem (given the fact that root works) with
permissions. If your archive is in / (for example), it won't work. But
you could do "Extract to" and it would, by default, offer you to put it
in your $HOME folder, which would not need root and would work fine.

Also: pcmanfm-qt and pcmanfm are completely different pieces of software
that ultimately do not share much in the way of a common core.
