Am I reading that correctly that test.log.7z compressed 35 mB of text into 32 bytes?

And .tar.zst into 22!?

What was that log file? Millions of identical characters?

I shall have check. No for some reason some archives failed. Not 7z, but it size is 800kB :

35M test.log
804K test.7z    
8,1M test.tar.gz
8,1M test.zip
724K test.tar.xz
2,1M test.tar.bz2
1,1M test.tar.zst
