I don't know what 7zip does.  It is possible that it uses some container
inside the gzip, which would cause GnuCash to barf.  The easiest thing
to do is, again, just have GnuCash open the uncompressed file, and then
when it writes back out it'll compress it again for you.  You do not
need to re-compress the file yourself; GnuCash can read uncompressed
data even if the preference for compression is on.
