Tarlz does not show the compression progress, as documented in 
http://www.nongnu.org/lzip/manual/tarlz_manual.html#Invoking-tarlz

  -v
  --verbose
      Verbosely list files processed.

Plzip only shows the compression progress for multimember files, as 
documented in http://www.nongnu.org/lzip/manual/plzip_manual.html#Invoking-plzip

"Two or more '-v' options show the progress of (de)compression, except for 
single-member files."

(See also http://www.nongnu.org/lzip/manual/plzip_manual.html#Program-design).

Most probably you tried files too small for the compression level selected. 
See http://www.nongnu.org/lzip/manual/plzip_manual.html#Minimum-file-sizes

Best regards,
Antonio.
