How do I know which compression algorithm was used?

Unless you've overridden the default, it is ZIP.



Ok but in this point, my doubt is about some command to check whether
a "gpg" extension file is compressed and in case it is, which
algorithm was used. Like (just an example):

$ gpg --check-compression file.gpg

Is there something like that?

Not really, but you could look at the debug output. Try decrypting the file with "-vv" added to the command line. If it is compressed, you'll see a line like ":compressed packet: algo=1". Algo 1 is ZIP, algo 2 is ZLIB, algo 3 is BZIP2.
