Comment 1 Sergio Basto 2016-02-15 02:29:51 UTC 
It is in plugins subpackage : rpm -qf /usr/libexec/p7zip/7z.so
p7zip-plugins-15.09-9.fc23.x86_64

About RAR, it was removed due to a non-free license. RAR  license is incompatible with the LGPL

Also 7z is part of the plugins package : rpm -qf /usr/bin/7z 
p7zip-plugins-15.09-9.fc23.x86_64
Comment 2 foogle 2016-02-15 22:01:11 UTC 
It seemed I had a ghost /usr/bin/7z program installed, it was not owned by any RPM. After installing p7zip-plugins, the 7z program is now working. I will still use the tarball distribution though as I need RAR support.
