Hello,

Testing on Jaunty beta, with those packages installed:
evince 2.26.0-0ubuntu1
libevdocument1 2.26.0-0ubuntu1
libevview1 2.26.0-0ubuntu1
lzma 4.43-14ubuntu1
p7zip 4.58~dfsg.1-1
p7zip-full 4.58~dfsg.1-1

I archived a folder in different formats using the contextual menu entry in 
Nautilus, and the following formats:
- 7z
- cbz
- tar.7z
- tar.lzma
- zip
I renamed all the archives to a .cb7 extension, except the .cbz one, and the 
.zip one that I renamed as .cbz.

Results with Evince:
- can't open 7z (error along the lines of "Archive file type 7-zip 
(application/x-7z-compressed) is not supported");
- can't open cbz (same error);
- can't open tar.7z (same error);
- can't open tar.lzma (same error);
- CAN open zip.

Note: the CBZ file it could not open was recognized as application/x-7z-
compressed, not as a ZIP archive. This is a bug in Nautilus or the
application that the "Create an archive" context menu in Nautilus calls
(not sure how it works). A normal ZIP archive renamed with a .cbz
extension will be handled fine.

So if I want to create a CBZ archive (which will be recognized by all
comic book viewers on all platforms, including Evince and Comix on
Ubuntu), I need to stay clear of the cbz option in Nautilus, use zip
instead, then manually rename to .cbz. Maybe that should be a separate
bug report?
