The file in question appears here (on gentoo, running the live-kde4 
packages, rebuilt about a week ago and identified as kde 4.13.60) as:

/usr/share/kde4/services/ServiceMenus/ark_servicemenu.desktop

That file provides several entries under the extract submenu in the 
context menu, including extract, extract archive here.

On gentoo at least, that file is provided by the ark package.

If you have that file, do you get the extract submenu in the context menu 
of for instance a tar.xz or tar.bz2 file at all?  What about the compress 
submenu in the context menu for about anything?  That's provided by a 
different file, ark_addtoservicemenu.desktop, but it's located in the 
same directory and provided by the ark package as well.

If both those files exist, perhaps the problem is your user config.  Have 
you tried creating a new user without an existing kde configuration, to 
see if the menu is missing, there?  Alternatively, when not in kde or 
running dolphin, try renaming the ~/.kde (or possibly ~/.kde4, depending 
on your distro) directory, restart kde, and see if that helps.
