The desktop file looks ok, but are you installing it into the right directory?
Looking at kdeutils/ark/app/ as an example, that would be ${SERVICES_INSTALL_DIR}/ServiceMenus

Interesting - does it also support writing? The highest wish assigned to me
right now is about that; https://bugs.kde.org/77127. I didn't look into how to do
it yet, I only noted that I should look at kio_p7zip, fuse-zip, krusader, and ark of course,
all of which can allegedly do it.
So this makes the situation even more complex; if it wasn't for writing then
your kio_jstream would sound like the perfect solution and I would have
recommended making it default (which is easier, see the "archiveMimetype" field
of the .protocol file)... so I think you're right, a RMB / look inside is probably a
better solution.
